very nice set, it was a rhino handmade initially, i think,

you all know rhino handmade, the product that was 'strictly limited' and if you don't buy it now at at an exorbitant price you'll never get it.

although i am still waiting for that 6 disc rascals box to get re-issued.....but even that one left a couple of songs off.

I bought this one and the Cher Jackson Highway release listed on this site from Rhino Handmade years ago.

The one Handmade release I really regret missing is the Monkees Headquarters Sessions. I hope it comes back someday.

I have Sundazed Records' "The Moth Confesses" on CD with 6 bonus tracks. I may have heard the second album once, can't remember, but it's not highly rated/reviewed by AllMusic. However, AllMusic goes on to give this 2CD compilation a great review; apparently the second disc of singles has some real gems. Anybody care to elaborate? I'd really like to know if the non-album stuff is mono or stereo; those 6 bonus tracks on my "Moth" CD are all mono, IIRC...

Bump... still wondering about the material on disc two: mono? stereo? good sound?

Rick,

I've just added the tracklist to the first post for you and everyWAN. CD2 opens with several "mono single versions".

Thank you, Linda. I'm going to buy this set either way.
