Editorial Reviews

The 20th Century Masters series is the best-selling single-artist line in music history and is being re-released by Universal Music Enterprises (UMe) in its ground-breaking, environmentally-friendly packaging format. A first for the music industry, the standard package (both sleeve and tray) will be completely paper-recyclable, continuing the company's long-standing commitment to being "green."

To further reduce the amount of paper in the Eco-Pack, the CD booklet will no longer be offered. Official liner notes are easily accessible on the Internet at http://www.ilovethatsong.com/green.

UMe is the first North American music company to replace the traditional jewel case with recycled paperboard sleeves and the plastic tray with trays made from PaperFoam®, a new packaging technology from Shorewood Packaging, a business of International Paper, that is paper-recyclable and biodegradable. Shorewood Packaging is the first North American packaging supplier to produce disc trays from PaperFoam®. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars abslolutely a must, outstanding music and quality sound, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 20th Century Masters: The Best Of John Lee Hooker (Millennium Collection) (Audio CD)

This is such a treat, especially for those who have heard the old time recordings . A wonderful job of presenting the old music with nearly zero sound defects. If you like Junior Wells' Hoodoo Man Blues, this you will like even better! A bit quicker and more toe-tapping.

I thought that the remastering was done excellently and would recommend this cd to anyone. I want some RealPlayer samples that I can download from anywhere, though, please.
