    Well Geoff, I'll trust your judgement over some random Amazon reviewer who may be listening through something he bought at Dixons' closing down sale. So back it goes onto my wish list.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    I just looked at the Amazon ratings for this box set. 80% gave it a 5 star rating and a further 14% gave it 4 stars. I would say that was a pretty good rating!

    I would probably seek out original copies, even though that way would be more costly.

    Picked this up second hand for a good price. It's usually about 45£ and up secondhand.

    This has to be a bargain ! Picked it up new for £6.50 double CD and a awesome compilation of his work, just sublime !

    Niche I know but there are some Jazz lovers amongst the crew so will add this . Many may already have albums by Yusef Lateef but if not this is an excellent buy of some of his early recordings which are better because the recording process was simple and aimed at sound quality not radio plays . Eight albums over 4 CD's only the live recording is slightly below par .

    Thanks for the 'heads up' Andrew. I have a couple of his LPs, but this looks to be a good comprehensive 'Best of'.
