Here's Voxx fine three CD set. I wouldn't dare saying all Rock And Roll material is here,but I believe most of it is. Sound quality leaves something to be improved, but the contents are so great that we forget about this detail. I particuallary like the 3rd disc, in which the original "Roots" LP is included, along with several comments from John during a radio broadcast to promote the "Rock and roll" album. Along with Ringo's Memphis 87 album, thisis for met he bext Voxx release so far. En plus, for me it has a very special meaning, since it was a gift from ym very dear friend Leonard. Merci beaucoup, mon ami!
