For bootleg collectors and complietists who are tried of hearing record companies cry about declining profits while they sit on material from the last 50 years that has never seen the light or has in the form of an inferior bootleg this is a great starting point. GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT! Everything!! I have zero complaints about the $$ I spent essentially to hear 4 out of five of these discs.Yeah some of the takes are not as good as the originals. Yeah some of the material lacks..Yeah the gospel disc may not be for everyone....Yeah,yeah yeah. It's still a box for the ages. One can only wonder why the Viper Room Hollywood show, or any live set from American I for that matter, was not inserted in place of disc #5. I would have paid an extra 20 for that alone. American is getting close while all the others STILL just don't get it. Have Fun!!!!

1 can argue about which lp is Free's best. But this one always did it for me. Pauls guitar crys emotion that techincally superior guitar players know nothing about. Heavy Load is the soulfull straw Mr. Rogers has been grasping for ever since. Mr Big places Mt. Frazier on the map for ever and ever. Simon Kirkes drumming is the glue that holds the landscape together, Stellar at every turn in this audio masterpiece. An incredible cd.
