A really fine Book including 5 CD's with a perfect sound quality and 100 informative pages. Absolute Recommendation, not just for a fan. Buy this, it's still a bargain in 2025 and it's look good in your book shelf! And the Demo's on CD5 are fantastic!!!

this boxset is still available commercially for € 19.95, so why the high asking prices over here??????
