Unquestionably an absolute MUST HAVE since this four (4) CD box set contains mostly extended original version of classic Casablanca songs. The only gripe here is the use of a single edit on some Costandinos tracks. Contains a beautiful 47 page booklet with tons of photos. Audio quality is wonderful as the tracks are taken from the original master tapes. This is a perfect birthday or Christmas gift for the diehard Disco fanatic.

YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS
I purchased this CD collection and love it as I didn't have all these hits on vinyl. My only criticism of the set is that 1) they did not have the 12" extended version of "I Found Love, Now That I Have Found You". This was, in my opinion a classic and should not have been cut down to 5 minutes. It is like watching The Sopranos without all the cuss words. The other thing is that the put a remix of "Touch Me Baby" instead of the original. The remix was ok, but did not have the production value as the original. Other than those two things, it is indeed a must have for Casablanca fans.
