<<Most of the BBs' albums are terribly patchy, and even speaking as the
obsessive fan that I am I honestly wouldn't advise someone coming to
the band relatively fresh to buy any of them. There *are* a few very
solid albums, but even there you'll be able better to judge what you
like from the tracks on the box. And there's enough
otherwise-unreleased material (about 40% of the box is otherwise
unavailable) that is also very strong, that even if you *did* have all
the albums it'd be an essential purchase.
It's simply the best 'compilation style' box set (as opposed to ones
that collect a group's entire works - obviously both undoable and,
frankly, undesirable with the BBs) I've ever heard of.

the unreleased material does concern me a bit. Does it all still flow okay?
It sounds like an awful lot of the unreleased stuff is like radio promos and
instrumentals and stuff. I just know of some bad box sets that have resulted
from mixing hits and stuff for the dedicated (the abysmal "Sex America Cheap
Trick" box). Sorry if this is all nit-picky, especially since I don't have to
pay for it, but I *could* use those CC points on something else.. hehe
