Looking forward to this release, their Riverside output is glorious. Yes this looks like an early Xmas present to myself. 

A real deal box set.

Just to say I've had 2 sets of these comp and they both have playing faults on CDs 2 & 3, which from my experience will not play the last track on each of those CDs.

I believe it is a manufacturing fault. Gutted as The Staples are one of my favs and was really looking forward to having this in my collection.

So be warned when you purchase this item.

On hold at Amazon at the moment

Mine plays OK, only thing I was miffed at, I paid Amazon £43.99 pre-order price which never dropped, on release I was checking the price & 2 of the Amazon Marketplace traders were selling it at £14.77 + £1.26 postage. Furthermore I now see the price is £36.99, moral I won't be pre-ordering in future.

PS of course I had to buy one of the sets for £14.77, as I can't resist a bargain.

You were lucky to get it at £14.77!, that's incredibly good value. As you say Amazon are still £43.66 and  It's back in a JUNO at £37.99 [Jan 2016], which upon searching around seems the average price. I still want this box set but somewhat hesitant that I might get faulty disc(s) again.
