4great music but discs 5 and 6 should have been betterApr 18, 2009
this box set contains great music and the lithograph is extremely cool. the packaging is sweet along with a huge book. my only complaint is that musically it doesn't offer much more than the original 4 disc version. the radio show disc is nice but i would have liked it to include more music from other shows or more crucial studio tracks. a few songs from his days on the american label would have been nice too. the dvd is from the johnny cash "first 25 years" tv special and is a little cheesy by cash standards. a career spanning dvd would have been better than this cheesy tv special with many whited haired old ladies in the audience. it doesn't do johnny cash any justice to not have a better quality dvd than that.

5The man in blackJan 07, 2008
This collection of music combined with the book and wonderful pictures makes this is an awesome buy. I'm proud to own this. It's truly a joy.
I would definately recommend this to any Man In Black fan.

5I just loved it..Feb 04, 2006
For the serious Cash fan, yes. I had been looking for this for awhile. I was impressed with the book, photos and words. Very nice touch with the painting of JR. In fact I am having it framed.

The pictures and book are well bound, and done on nice paper. The content of those photos and writing to go along with them brought that famous JR tear I get in my eye when I hear his songs and stories. The disk set I have enjoyed. I really hope some of the "lost" music comes out from Columbia.

Definitely for the serious collector, but worth the price in my opinion.

4Limited Edition-Needs more Cash-DylanJan 07, 2006
This is a limited edition collector's set which partly justifies the hefty price tag.

The radio broadcast is pretty Gol-Darn cool. It's Cash's show all the way. Not only does he sing live, he's also the announcer and the commercial pitchman. It's a hoot! On the broadcast, he even plugs his upcoming concert at the Overton Park Shell with Elvis! Very cool!

I wouldn't have bought this for myself, I'll have to admit. But someone gave it to me for Christmas and I'm so glad I got it! What a great gift. I love Discs 3 and 4 the most. Those are the tracks I'm least familiar with.

One complaint. What is "Girl from the North Country" doing here? Since this a rare collector's set, why not put one or more of the unreleased Dylan-Cash collobrations on this? Virtually EVERYONE already has "Girl" in their collection because just about everyone in the country owns a copy of Dylan's "Nashville Skyline".

Cash and Dylan recorded about 18 tracks together and Cash DOMINATES the proceedings all the way. These tracks are great, believe me. Cash fans would love all of them. I don't care because I already own these tracks thanks to Ebay. But why not give Cash collectors a taste of these tracks on the "Family and Friends" disc? Dylan was one of Johnny Cash's best friends and their collaboration was fruitful. It's too bad only one of these tracks has ever seen the light of day.

5Amazing!Nov 28, 2005
This is an absolutely fabulous collection. The steep pricing it definitely deterring, however if you subscribe to Yahoo! Music Unlimited you can get the whole thing plus approximately 1,000,000 other songs for $6.99 month. Happy Listening. :)
