Any comments on the mastering of this boxset? The booklet states that it was done by Andy Pearce. Does it sound significantley better than the Krescendo reissues that I own of most of these albums? Those were apparently done by George Marino, but I don't like the sound quality very much.

Can't stand it when record companies do this to a band's back catalogue, no care at all for the fans, cram it on as few discs as possible and bang it out.

Rock & Roll's Gonna Save The World is not the last song of the Mean Streak album as it states on the back cover, it is the first song on the In Rock We Trust album.
