The setlist is one of the better compilations and a good buy for the average audiophile, but I found the actual product to be a lower expectation from a remastered 180-gram vinyl copy. First the sleeves are printed paper which caused lint and paper debris all over the records. It took quite a bit of cleaning to get them up to par for playback. Also, the hole on one of the records was a bit tight, but it did go on my player. You may get a bit of static charge (crackle and pops) from cleaning the lint off on your first play.

The record jacket looked a little worn. Not what I expected at all. Cleaned the records, still pop like they were used. WON'T BUY FROM THIS SELLER AGAIN!

I had tried the 2017 'remastered' version with 2 LP's, black vinyl, and had to return it from Best Buy, it was so flat and non impressive sounding. However this Target limited 2019 release on blue vinyl sounds so much better and I'm happy I got this one for my collection.

This is a marvelous collection of much of Elton Johns work and for that reason alone it is worth owning. The blue disks are quieter than the black disks as the vinyl is of a better apparent quality. There is a caveat though. Because of the high concentration of songs, the records were engineered with less dynamic range. This action reduces the width of the grooves and allows a longer running time. But what is forfeited is being able to appreciate the full spectrum of the performance intensity. Most people will not notice this reduction,in this digital world, but the audiophiles most definitely will. When compared to the original albums there is a significant difference, so consider carefully. Frankly it would be very expensive to buy all the original albums so this may be a very good compromise, but it is a compromise. I kept mine.Read full review

While there is a nice compilation of Eltons represented the quality of sound mix is not equivalent to the albums originally recorded on. My particular copy has some light pops in the quiet areas of my LP. I am disappointed in the quality fir being a new album.
