I was thinking of picking this up, but a few people on the mosdefinitely message board bought it and said that the mixing of the album was pretty shocking. Basically you have to sit there turning the volume up and down for pretty much every track to keep it at a constant volume. But having said that, if you're a big Mos fan and want to have all of the tracks on there, its certainly easier to buy that boxset then attempt to find all those tracks on the net.
