AllMusic Review by Ron Wynn
“Drummer led many great editions of from the inaugural mid-'50s sessions until his death in the '90s. While arguments rage regarding which was his best, there is no doubt that the 1960-1961 unit figures in the debate. This wonderful set, notated with care and painstaking detail by , covers studio and live sessions from March 6, 1960, to May 27, 1961, with the same personnel on all but two songs. Producer used only first issue dates, and while he included some alternate takes, he did not litter the discs with second-rate vault material. They smoothly detail the band's evolution, cohesion, and maturation. This set, as with all Mosaic boxes, goes beyond essential. Get it post haste.”
Sent carefully packaged.
Happy bidding!
