Maybe Tusk is my favorite because of its combination of extensive demos and roughs with two CDs of great live (although, as usual, poor choice of cities). But most of the others are fantastic. Only Tango disappoints me because I feel the extras were a rush job — an entire CD wasted on Jellybean Benitez club mixes is ridiculous.
As for the mastering on all of them, I guess they sound all right, but I still can’t help thinking that the best remastering was on the Very Best Of set, years before — perfect balances and equalization.
No comment on the 1968–74 box because I haven’t heard it extensively.
