the box set is a collection of ten ep-length cds. some of the material
has already made it to compact disc already, but much of it appears on
disc for the first (and only) time here. i'd consider this a must have 
for a dedicated fan but, perhaps, a luxury for a new listener. one nice
thing about the set though: since it spans their career from 1982 till 
1990, it does give a good glimpse of their changes over the years.

$35 is a good price as well - it retailed for about $55 in stores when
it was fiurst released and is a bit hard (though not impossible_ to
find these days.
