Received my Raspberry box from the UK Saturday and the great news is that Andy Pearce did the re-mastering.
Even though I could not focus on the re-mastering due to other "distractions" I can say upon initial listen it seems much improved. Of course the original production was limiting (and unique) but with that said this looks like an improvement.

After playing the first two albums this evening I need to remind myself to send Andy Pierce who re-mastered this box a Christmas card. He did a fantastic job, the band never, ever sounded this good on CD before.
I agree. Have only listened through Side 3 so far, but probably only SACDs could improve on this box.

Linda is so right here. Starting tonights listening with Side 3 and as with others a much improved CD sound compared to previous incarnations. What a great group the Raspberries, if they were from England instead of Cleveland they be hailed as power pop hiers to the Beatles throne.

Andy Pearce is fantastic, and his work on the Lizzy and Sabbath had me sold.
I will strongly consider this box.
Exactly Pete, that's how I knew his name. Interesting when you see what previous inferior Raspberries CD's go for (over $100+) while this box is a great bargain aswell.

Clamshell box housing all four albums in replicate covers. The booklet is 20 pages. Gloss pages of liner notes are very nice and include some really cool photos including 45 picture sleeves. The liner notes written by Malcom Dome, London June 2015.
