Title: A nice package, ultimately inadequate
Product review: A friend went home to Italy, I requested some PFM since I had their stuff on vinyl. He brought this back...I wouldn't start here if you're not a fan, and I wouldn't buy this if you're a real fan. Two versions of Celebration are included, which is overkill and slightly pathetic. Not enough of the older material is here to give a good representation. And the truncated live material is rockus interruptus.Best starting point for this great band is likely the live "Cook" album. I love the older stuff like Photos of Ghosts, too.If you don't know these guys, think ELP with a violin and an Italian accent. They were on Manticore and had English lyrics on some albums written by Peter Sinfield. Definitely recommended for the prog rock fan.
