Well I really hope they do a better job with this than with there dreadfull SF box of a couple of years back- a real revisionist job, where the preoccupations of the compiler-pre ballroom Nuggets style groups-completely skewed the selection-not so much a paradigm shift as a paradim shaft!

Could have been really good but instead we got a Nuggets style collection with only the most ,superficail trawl through the obvious. A missed opportunity.

I only keep the box for Country Weather! But where are the out of towners? The bands who migrated? the jazz rock/horn bands? Leaf trough your SF flyers and see who were playing at the ballrooms-certainly not the snotty nosed punks which this box would lead you to believe.
