CCR Remasters Opinions Before I Buy Them

Has anyone here bought or listened to the CCR studion albums in the latest remastered
versions? If so, is it worth a purchase of the entire 5-6 albums?

Please respond and thanks again!

I bought the box set for around $60 at columbia house and I love it.

1. Live in Europe has yet to be released in remastered form on CD and the original CD sounds horrible. You'll get a remastered version only in this boxed set.
2. The rarities: All of disc 1 of this boxed set is devoted to tracks from The Golliwogs and Tommy Fogerty and The Blue Velvets. While not all of these tracks are up to the quality of the later CCR stuff, most of it's great rock and roll. Also you won't get parts 1 and 2 of 45 Revolutions Per Minute outside of this set.
3. You're getting everything (and I do mean everything) in order on 6 CDs. The Pre-Creedence stuff comes first, then all of the albums in their original order, and all of the tracks come just as they did on the original albums. Everything's remastered and sounds terrific. The two live sets are full of energy. The booklet contains many great essays and many great pictures. Honestly, even without the unreleased stuff, this set is exceptional. Just having "everything Creedence" in one spot, sounding so crisp and full, is worth the price of admission.
Bottom line: If you can spare the money, BUY THIS SET.

Thanks Hawk and bigjim25, I may get the box set; in fact it is on sale at the BMG website for $35.99.

Thanks again.

$48.73 after shipping is an even better price. Just picked up a set for mom's BD.

I'd love to have the box set, but I've already got the individual CD's (albeit in inferior quality). Aw shucks!
