Big Box of the Man in Black, with censored "San Quentin"

The Complete Columbia Album Collection (Audio CD)

Customer Review

It's a huge work that Johnny Cash has delivered from 1958 to 1989 for Columbia Records. Among the 63 CDs this box are many albums that it has not ever never been a CD. That one in the first 19 CDs, that all albums that have appeared in front of "Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison", has opted for the mono outputs, although mW of all albums and stereo versions exist, I do not find too tragically. When is on the supplementary sheet of the CD box "Representing the Entirety of the musical performances released by the Man in Black on Columbia Records during his lifetime", then you should take that literally, the program of each CD corresponds namely each 1: 1 the published to Johnny lifetime original LPs, that means for example no bonus tracks, even if one or the other Johnny Cash album was enriched on CD with bonus tracks in recent years, or "Johnny Cash At San Quentin" once again the infamous censored version , ie with one or another "beep" at the announcements and instead of "son of a bitch" in the last verse of "A Boy Named Sue". The new Masters of Vic Anesini have been very carefully to my mind and are based on the sound of old vinyl discs. Perhaps you could eliminate one or the other flaw in the old analog master tapes with of modern equipment, but in this respect it is also remained consistently as the tracklists (so) the individual CDs. Legal succeeded I find next to 200 pages thick booklet that beside detailed data of each album also includes an essay on Johnny Cash`s years at Columbia Records, the miniature versions of the original LP cover in which stuck the CDs, although in the Flip albums pulling out the CDs is a bit tedious.
Whereas the scope of this box set, I find it almost a bit contains a pity that you have not opted for the 80th anniversary of the Man in Black to a comprehensive label overarching retrospective, including among others the complete recordings for Sun Records (CD No. 61 after all, 28 of 61 recorded for Sun Records songs, "Johnny Cash With His Hot & Blue Guitar" in 1957 to the way Johnny Cash's very first album ever, the only Sun Records released while Johnny Cash stood there under the contract, the original LP was exactly from the first 12 Tracks of this CD) and Mercury, and of course the "American Recordings".
