I have both a big collection and a lot of love for music.I really don't have that big of a "collection." Just a lot of love for the music.

I have that set. I remember being giddy with excitement when I first heard about it -- I figured, with that many disks, it was BOUND to have most or all of the Sergio tracks I'd longed to get on CD. (I forget where I ordered it, but the website didn't list the tracks so I just went on faith.) And indeed it did have most of them, although one of my biggest favorites, "Sometimes in Winter," was missing. Still, it's a really nice set, has a lot of good pictures too. I've found it covers pretty much my whole need for pre-A&M Sergio. I do wish there was a translation of the Japanese text though!a box set, SERIE GRANDES NOMES, which apparently came and went back in 1995. I was never able to find it anywhere for sale, and it was barely mentioned anywhere.
Those trays came off in my copy within a few weeks of me having it, and that's when it was brand new! They must have used low quality glue.
I have the reels of: FOOL ON THE HILL, GREATEST HITS, and STILLNESS (the rest are the vinyl counterparts). But, the A&M-made reissues from 1968-1972 were all at the 7 1/2ips speed and A LOT better than the ones Ampex duplicated.If I recall correctly, the reviewer was Peter Reilly and the mag was 'Stereo Review', c/ 1966 or 67. I also recall being somewhat upset at his "damning with faint praise" (or was it "praising with faint damnation") review at the time, but most of his reviews were somewhat negative, generating lots of letters from irate readers (but not me). I think I have that 7" reel-to-reel tape downstairs somewhere (or was it "Equinox")?
