Everything here is sourced from some form of official release, so the sound quality is as one would expect - in fact in some cases the quality is surprisingly better than one would expect. A couple of the early tracks still have some minimal surface noise, but they are really only audible at high volume with headphones. The collection appears to be in chronological order using the date of release, but my one and only bitch is the lack of singles from Around The World In A Day here - no 'Pop Life', 'Raspberry Beret', 'Paisley Park' or 'America' - I understand they are identical to the album versions, but it's still a glaring gap from one of his most important periods. Other than the lack of Around The World In A Day material, I have no complaints, and this is an enjoyable run-through documenting a pretty staggering 8 year period.
