B.O.C., Tyranny and Mutation, Secret Treaties, Agents of Fortune and Spectres were all remastered in 2007 so it's great to finally have all the rest of these albums remastered. They sound way better than the original cd releases from the 80's/90's. The unreleased material on discs 16 and 17 are also very cool. The biggest complaint that I have is the lack of unreleased/rare tracks. B.O.C. has several tracks that were recorded and never used or were b-sides. One track that immediately comes to mind is "Astronomy" with the Stephen King intro from Imaginos and another is "Gun" that was recorded during the Mirrors sessions. For my money though this was worth it to have the rest of the catalog finally remastered.

Everything you want from a box-set. 100 points.
