"You gotta love this collection. I searched for a CD that had as many of his greatest songs on it as possible. This 2 CD set contains a vast array of music, covering nearly all the Sun highlights. It's a good starter. "Killer Country" will add some of his (great) country stuff, and "Live at the Star Club, Hamburg" will provide the ultimate live JLL experience. This is the most complete Sun set I could find, and at a decent price. Now I need to find some of those obscure live recordings from the '70s that were floating around on cassette around the end of that decade and on into the '80s. Jerry Lee is always best live, but the Sun (and the latter-day country) material he recorded in the studio is high quality JLL, without the hair-raising fire and brimstone. As a good overview of his early years, it's hard to find a more complete collection than this."
