    This is surely one of the best value for money box sets there's ever been. A blind buy for me as I was only familiar with the U.K. No.1 hit I'll Never Fall In Love Again which is one of my favourite songs. I'm glad I took a chance on this before it went OOP as the rest of the box set is also packed with groovy 60s tunes.

    The sound quality of the CDs are very pleasant on the ears. None of that loud brickwalled nonsense here. Also comes with picture cards and a hardback book full of photos of the very attractive looking Miss Gentry.

      It is a fantastic collection; I do have one question I've been able to get answered elsewhere because it's not noted in the set---is the only mono track in the whole collection the radio edit of "Fancy"? I should think the "Live at the BBC" album is in mono since it was all recorded in the late sixties, but I can't confirm that.

          Its a pity they left out some reordings, like the duet with Jody Reynokds from 1966 "Requiem for love" & "Stranger in the mirror" The 1978 single "Steal away" & "He did me wrong, but he did it right" The theme song from the movie Macon country line made in 1976 (Two versions) And three songs from the Europen version of Ode to Billie Joe from 1992. "Slow cockin" Sweet country" & "Thunder in the afterenoon" After all hard work they put into this fantastic box.

            One of the finest box sets I've ever owned. This gathers together pretty much everything from the bulk of Bobbie Gentry's recording years, leaving off a few odds and ends from the late 1970s. The presentation of this is beautiful, with great attention to detail in all regards; visual, sonic, and the printed word. Andrew Batt did simply amazing work here—research and compiling, mixing and writing. The amount of love poured into this project is palpable. Truly a masterful work of archiving and curation.
