What a wonderful collection. Ok many fans will say many of these BBC recordings have been released before which they have on separate CD collections over the years. Difference is Mark Paytrees not only has written the book that comes with this but reseached, tracked down better recorded versions & added many from BBC list that at first seemed lost forever. I have original recorded releases & can say much has been cleaned up only a few now have DJs talking over in fact very few. I sat & listened to these & thought how great Marc was to record for BBC & make tracks sound like straight from his discs at the time. It is only when you listen & hear some lyrics changes you remember these are BBC studio sessons. I loved the various versions of Elemental Child with guitar solo's never being the same some are mind blowing. What is also on this 3 disc box set is the BBC concert in France in two parts & you swear it was not live till they clap at the end as sound is so good. I believe this is fantasic to have in any fans collection of course you have to have loved Marc's work in Tyrannosaurus Rex too to buy this but even these sessons are so different to the original records. Worth every penny to any fan.
