5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent product!, September 3, 2004

The packaging of this CD collection is the first thing to strike you. You either love it or hate it. A cardboard box with a cardboard accordian inside it. Within the accordian you find two slide drawers containing the 20 CDs and two booklets. The booklets are in French but they contain comprehensive information on all tracks in the collection. The CDs or found in cardboard sleeves each with a different photo of Edith Piaf and track listings. The music is Edith Piaf from her beginnings to her untimely death in 1963. A good remastering which doesn't fog the sound as on many CDs. Some rare tracks and live tracks. I like it, worth getting even if you own other L'integrale box sets.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely Ridiculous Packaging - Better Options Exist, March 2, 2010

This boxset may take the prize for the most absurd packaging ever. The 20 CDs are excellent, 5 stars all the way. But these are cased in a huge, immense, cheap, low-grade and flimsy cardboard box that you will never be able to store. The only booklet is a very thin little CD sized booklet no bigger than you'd ordinarily get with a single CD ( a few photos and a very short essay in French).

The manufacturer must've realized their folly and reproduced this set in a very nice compact slipcase and all 20 CDs in the exact same mastering and the exact same CD slipcovers for a tiny fraction of the cost (often found for between $20 and $40 for all 20 CDs here on amazon). No tiny booklet, but that really isn't worth 25 cents.

If you think paying the extreme collectors prices of upwards of $400 is worth it for a terrible low-grade and way oversized cardboard box along with a few common photos of Edith (very small sized in the CD sized booklet), go ahead. The same exact set is available in a much more sensible package for very little money.
