5.0 out of 5 stars Great Collection, December 7, 2007

By	M. D. Bell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There are 35 songs covered in the Anthology, spanning B.B King's entire career, including many of his classic tracks. Unfortunately there is no discography of the songs - which would have made obtaining the recordings much easier.

2 boxed sets may help:
The "King of the Blues" (Mca ASIN: B000002OMC 4 CDs) has 17 of the songs.

Another set "The Vintage Years" (Ace Records UK ASIN: B00005QX62 4 CDs) has 18 of the songs.

There is a great deal of overlap between the 2 boxed sets, but if you get both you will have 29 of the 35 titles from the Anthology.
