CD Reviews

Same as the USA version
P. J. Baatz | Glen Allen, VA United States | 06/02/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"All,

Same as the "old USA" version..no new mastering done. Only difference is the discs have a colored surface to match the label era.



Still a great box, but do not expect better sound quality, perhaps one day they will re-release a superb sound quality version."
Cheaper packaging saves you money

"This is the same recording as the USA set, but it is not in a box per se, just a cheap, very thin cardboard slipcover. But it is priced way less ($34 new on Amazon) than the US version, so in my opinion it is a good deal. Also, the CD labels are printed to look like records of the given era, which is a nice touch."
