    Beware! Some of these releases are made on cheap CDR media. That’s probably why some are self destructive. I bought several discs brand new in shrink wrap that upon opening I discovered that were just burned printed discs. They were this release, the Vol. 2 set and Mad Parade the re issues. I then repurchased all these discs used and found that they were real silver cds. I’m guessing that the newer runs on these products were done on the cheap!

      Anyone elses copy of this self destructing?
      disc one towards the end lots of distortion wasn't like it when I first got it..
      Also It's not complete history legless bull ep and the flex your head tracks are missing..I know it's stated in the booklet due to them still being in print...but still seemed a bit ridiculous leaving them off..

        Completist sets like this are good in theory but must be extremely difficult to do well. This is a nice comp but some tracks sound like they were mastered from vinyl and volume levels are little uneven. Also there are some dropouts on at least one track (disk 2, track 32). Nevertheless it's a must-have for fans.
