Brooklyn OWNS this charmer!
These sets are almost always a mix of different masterings. Sometimes it's the latest remasters (usually from Japanese reissues), sometimes it's the original '80s issues, sometimes it's CD quality versions of the transfers fed to the high-rez download services...sometimes all of the above in one box. No rhyme or reason. It's almost always a crap-shoot.

I have the first 5 (didn't like the reunion album at all) plus the 2CD ":Retrospective" which has that single version of "It Don't Matter to Me", and some solo stuff I didn't have, and the first two Gates solo albums. So, nothing in this set I need.
I've added the Rhino's description to the first post, and removed the erroneous mastering info that was in their initial solicitation. As Steve W. had pointed out upthread, all of the discs are remastered, not just one of them.
Amazon USA currently shows the box with a November 10th release date, but that will be brought in line with the Canadian and UK release date of October 27th.

The discs in this set are 16/44.1 down samples from the recent HD Tracks remasters. All of them!
Good info Steve, thanks. These sound very good IMO, I just received it from Amazon.canuck for $30.80 ($24 US funds) shipped. Pays to order early, the price went up $20 since then.
