I wish Wetton would have stayed with King Crimson. Really like him with KC; I don't like Asia, his brief tenure in Wishbone Ash (1 album) or the small amount of solo stuff I've heard.

I thought Asia was great, especially the first two albums and b-sides that came out on 12 inch. I also loved John when he was with Uriah Heep, "Return to Fantasy" and "High and Mighty". Of course his work with KC is phenomenal without question.

John has a really good solo catalogue as well, his first solo released in 1980 "Caught in the Crossfire" with Jethro Tull's guitarist Marin Barre on all the tracks is a killer record.

I may get this box based on reviews of sound quality.

One of my top 5 singers in Rock.

Love Asia to death and his voice is the main reason why, and their new albums are so damn good.

He's also an outstanding bassist.

Plus, he was with Mogul Thrash, Family, King Crimson, Uriah Heep, Roxy Music, Bryan Ferry, Wishbone Ash, UK and his solo career.

I mean, wow.

Great rendition of Heat with Steve Hackett (Tokyo Tapes 1999).
