Finally all of Bobby Robinson's labels in one set, but sadly

"For the first time, a label (Charly)has captured most of the pertinent recordings from the various labels Bobby Robinson founded: Fire/Fury/Enjoy/Red Robin/Fling/Everlast & Whirlin Disc and put them in one 3CD box set. Liner notes are great, packaging is great HOWEVER, there appears to be a rampant pressing problem with CD#3 that makes it a hit or miss affair regarding playability via a DVD player (including your computer). Older CD-only players have a better chance at playing I've found. I'm on my 3rd brand new copy and the problem has been persistent. So buyer beware! I've been able to inform Snapper Music - whom distributes Charly pressings - but good luck in getting a hold of someone at Charly - they are almost a non-existent organization."
