Limited Edition-Needs more Cash-Dylan

"This is a limited edition collector's set which partly justifies the hefty price tag.



The radio broadcast is pretty Gol-Darn cool. It's Cash's show all the way. Not only does he sing live, he's also the announcer and the commercial pitchman. It's a hoot! On the broadcast, he even plugs his upcoming concert at the Overton Park Shell with Elvis! Very cool!



I wouldn't have bought this for myself, I'll have to admit. But someone gave it to me for Christmas and I'm so glad I got it! What a great gift. I love Discs 3 and 4 the most. Those are the tracks I'm least familiar with.



One complaint. What is "Girl from the North Country" doing here? Since this a rare collector's set, why not put one or more of the unreleased Dylan-Cash collobrations on this? Virtually EVERYONE already has "Girl" in their collection because just about everyone in the country owns a copy of Dylan's "Nashville Skyline".



Cash and Dylan recorded about 18 tracks together and Cash DOMINATES the proceedings all the way. These tracks are great, believe me. Cash fans would love all of them. I don't care because I already own these tracks thanks to Ebay. But why not give Cash collectors a taste of these tracks on the "Family and Friends" disc? Dylan was one of Johnny Cash's best friends and their collaboration was fruitful. It's too bad only one of these tracks has ever seen the light of day."

I just loved it..

"For the serious Cash fan, yes. I had been looking for this for awhile. I was impressed with the book, photos and words. Very nice touch with the painting of JR. In fact I am having it framed.



The pictures and book are well bound, and done on nice paper. The content of those photos and writing to go along with them brought that famous JR tear I get in my eye when I hear his songs and stories. The disk set I have enjoyed. I really hope some of the "lost" music comes out from Columbia.



Definitely for the serious collector, but worth the price in my opinion."

"This collection of music combined with the book and wonderful pictures makes this is an awesome buy. I'm proud to own this. It's truly a joy.

I would definately recommend this to any Man In Black fan."
