NOTE: The Disc 1 liner notes incorrectly credits "Teenbeat" to Henry Cow (it should be Frith & Greaves), and "Extract From With The Yellowhalf-Moon And Blue Star" to Frith & Greaves (it should be Frith).
NOTE: The back of the insert for Disc 15 mistakenly gives the title of the disc as "Late" (the front of the insert gives the correct title "Bremen"). Also, the back cover of the same disc lists the track "Bremen" as tracks 8-11, whereas it should be 8-12.

Reviews
- Edited 3 years agoA small notice to (potential) buyers of this CD boxset: check CD#4 (In Praise of Learning), some batches are defective and unplayable (crackling noises, tracking errors,etc...). This is not an isolated issue since it has been confirmed on other musical forums. Only disc #4 is affected, all the others plays fine. I contacted the label (Megacorp UK) by e-mail but they didn't care to reply. Fortunately my (Amazon) dealer replaced the whole box and the 2nd was perfect.
