5.0 out of 5 stars for only 105$! it's a bargain, September 4, 2000

If you want a better life, and are thinking whether 105$ is too much for a box set of 8 cd's, don't hesitate, this set is worth every penny, these are not outtakes but all the albums Mickey did in the 60's and 70's, this is gospel, folk, jazz, and a deeply religious and emotional experience. Newbury has had his songs covered by other artists more than 300 (!) times, many of them have become number ones hits, but the real hit is his deep voice, it's like praying, this set is a prayer. He could be called the Bach of our times, maybe we should call these the Newbury Cantatas to give you an idea of what we are talking about.
If someone evere told you that this songs are depressing forget it, each time I hear them I want to live, to live as intensively as possible, isnt this what art is about?
So, at 105$ you'll get a taste of heaven, is this expensive?

5.0 out of 5 stars trains, rain, it can't get any better than this, April 16, 2000

By 

susan (California) - See all my reviews

This is absolutely incredible. I have tons of Mickey's records worn out, but to be able to hear it all - especially San Francisco Mable Joy - on CD was a real tear-jerker. I started listening to Mickey back on KSFO (?) in the late 1960's - got turned on by Bobby Dale - anyone remember him? If you want to hear the best music ever by the best musician this is it. Bring on the hankies....
