Comments: The BBC material is presented in wonderful quality, and this reissue is an excellent way to pick it up on CD.

Most of the other stuff is pretty useless and can be found either more complete or better sounding elsewhere.

The cover is yet another one of those pictures out of one of the recent photographic retrospectives. It's nice to be seeing some different photographs used on the covers of so many new bootleg releases.


Bottom Line: Absolutely essential, the few bad tracks are vastly overshadowed by the many excellent tracks.
