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®.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another mighty fine Cash set, March 9, 2008

By 

Johnny Boy "The Record Collector" (Hockessin, DE) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Johnny Cash Vol. 2 - Millennium Collection- 20th Century Masters (Eco-Friendly Packaging) (Audio CD)

Johnny Cash is a country icon. His music is among the finest ever made. His music has touched generations. And in 2002, he was given a collection in UMG's '20th Century Masters.' And, in 2007, he was given a second volume in the series.

I prefer the first volume. But, the second volume is still great.

So how does this collection measure up?

Positives
-Most of Johnny Cash's 1980s and 1990s hits are here. 'Highwayman,' 'W. Lee O Daniel,' and 'Goin' By The Book' all appear on his set.
-Great remakes of 'Ring of Fire,' 'Sixteen Tons' and 'Ballad Of A Teenage Queen' also appear on this set.
-The sound quality is excellent.

Negatives
-During his tenure on Mercury, Cash did a great reworking of Kris Kristofferson's classic 'Sunday Morning Coming Down,' and that would fit nicely on his set.

Overall, this is a nice set to own if you're a Cash fan looking for a brief retrospective during his tenure on the Mercury label. Highly recommended for any Cash fan. ENJOY!!!

I bought this for my 10 year old grandson. And he is actually even more entranced by Johnny Cash than I am! A great album!
