Just look at what you get: 75 and 78 festival programmes and flyers, excellent photographs, two DVDs, nine CDs plus Freddy&#39;s book all nicely packaged for less than 50 quid. I also found Wendy Bannister extremely helpful and willing to tailor the box contents to individual requirements. It is fair to say that the CDs are essentially &quot;Bootleg&quot; quality but are comparable with some of the dubious full price CDs released in recent years. Also, all are taken from just two tours (72 and 75) so can be quite similar. However, in my case it will happily sit alongside my Zappa &quot;Beat the Boots&quot; boxed sets. (I have seen these change hands on eBay for over £400!!) Ultimately this is a must for any Beefheart enthusiast.Garynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14540680.post-37749189614528622652010-05-04T17:41:57.845Z2010-05-04T17:41:57.845ZWell,I purchased a box set and am a little perterbed on the &#39;attention&#39; to detail these folks exhibit.When I 1st got the set,I was missing the FZ show from Knebworth and the 2nd Beefheart from Royal Albert Hall was a mix-mash of Sly+the family Stone and other R+B songs(not to mention 1 page missing from the book) It took them almost 2 months to get me the missing cd&#39;s,not to mention not answering e-mails as prompt as they did BEFORE they got my money. Also it took the 2 tries to get me the missing cd&#39;s as the 1st set didn&#39;t arrive..all in all very disappointed,but a nice box to keep everything in and on a good note some excellent photos.<br /><br />EricAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14540680.post-38154567092570260472010-03-25T13:36:46.834Z2010-03-25T13:36:46.834ZCant wait to get mine!!Bjornhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17110772949563521082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14540680.post-22542751322599685362010-03-21T10:39:25.057Z2010-03-21T10:39:25.057ZThis better sounding and complete version of the Albert Hall show has only recently come to light. The others have been around for a while but are available here in about the best quality.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10650948933327392820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14540680.post-66169814821845037462010-03-17T17:48:19.697Z2010-03-17T17:48:19.697ZIs it just me, or have most of those shows not been on the trading circuit before? Royal Albert Hall for example - I&#39;ve never seen that before.Neil Barrettnoreply@blogger.com
