DEEP: Although it has its moments, this is not on the level of its predecessor. Some trax are indeed extraordinary, others much less so. Overall, an uneven set but one that has some highly desirable cuts. I'll leave it as a toss up. If it matters to anyone, the packaging is top notch, with beautiful color live and candid shots and a nice looking color pic CD.

CDG: A nice selection of tracks in not so very good quality, with a few exceptions. Not too hard to find these tracks, either.

rmd: The whole thing is not really too impressive. Though there are a few nice takes on it that I hadn't heard before, I guess they are widely in circulation already. Quality differs greatly from song to song, both concerning performances and sound. There are some very enjoyable things here, but nothing that is really *Hard To Find*. (Christian Zeiser)
