(5 out of 5 stars)

"This collection of tracks covers B.B.'s career from 1949 to 1991 and contains 77 classic recordings with many rarities and 7 previously unreleased performances.



Having been a B.B. King Fan for over 30 years I was pleased to find that many of the tracks on this 4 CD set are currently unavailable in this format - as such, it is as much a worthwhile purchase for established fans as it is an essential one for the first time buyer.



The "bookset" style box has been lovingly put together with the authorisation of B.B. himself and has 70 pages of high quality rare photgraphs as well as reflections from the "Chairman of the Board" himself.



The audio quality on all 4 discs is simply stunning and supercedes many of the previous MCA album remasters from the mid 1990's.



In short,this set is thoroughly recommended without reservation - so go on,treat yourself!"
