Review title: Bootleg quality at bootleg price
Product review: This box set, which had the potential of being spectacular, is a waste of money. The majority of the recordings are described as archival. Which means, they were taped off of the radio 20+years ago on someone's home tape recorder. And rather than paying the BBC, Island records and other companies for origianl recordings, the creators of this set used these poor and often unlistenable recordings. The booklet is quite nice, but the money spent on the booklet could have been better spent purchasing original source recordings.There are a few (and I mean few) shining stars, like the Hexhamshire Lass from '76 and Wat Tyler from '92, but not enough to justify the price.Some may tell you that this set is designed for long time fans of the band. But I say that it was designed for ripping off long time fans, who buy everything Fairport.
