Did anyone buy this set?
I meant to buy when it came out - but it sold out.
I see a used one available now...

Any comments?

Thanks!

I have it but left the CDs at home and haven’t listened to it for at least ten years. I only played it only a few times.
That being said, it is quite a unique collection IIRC, unlike any other compilations or Best-of types of releases by The Yardbirds. A number of takes here are from the radio programmes, presumably air-check tapes rather than BBC archives that have survived to this day hence low-fi. But a lot of them had never been released and you can’t hear elsewhere.

Personally, if it’s too expensive, I’d miss it. But if it’s reasonable and affordable enough for you, worth considering getting your hands on it. Especially if you are a fan of the group.

Hope this helps.

RisingStone,

Thank you for the info.
I remember reading at the time that this was a miracle, with all these tracks from all periods, sources, and producers coming together in one place.

I'm thinking about buying - I'll leave comments if I do.

Very valuable information

Thank you.
