This review is from: Robert Anton Wilson Explains Everything: (or Old Bob Exposes His Ignorance) (Audio CD)
I just got this - it's four long interviews on five discs. NO lecture material. THIS IS AN INTERVIEW BOX.
A friend of mine ordered this, same story, just the five discs. My guess is, they were going to include three bonus discs but couldn't get the rights, and it was too late to reprint the box. It's a good set. I especially enjoyed the autobiographical stuff in the first session. The material on General Semantics, "model-theism", and the Eight Circuits makes more sense in print ("Prometheus Rising"), and I didn't need an hour on Joyce and Pound, but this is an excellent intro to RAW's thought.

Well worth the price, even sans lecture material,
This review is from: Robert Anton Wilson Explains Everything: (or Old Bob Exposes His Ignorance) (Audio CD)
As others have said, this set, despite claiming to on the packaging, does not contain any lecture material. It is 5 discs, all between 70 and 77 minutes long, containing an excellent interview with Mr. Wilson. It ranges from his early years in New York, to Joyce, and on into conspiracy theories with tons of other of Bob's thoughts laced in between.
If you're looking to get this set because of the lecture material, it's not here. Apparently it is intact in the cassette edition, if you can get your hands on that (according to another reviewer here). If, however, you're looking for a long, interesting, and amusing interview with Bob go ahead and pick this up. I hesitate to give this 5 stars only because it does not fulfill what its packaging says it includes. What is included, in my opinion, is excellent material.

Great except for the deceptive advertising.,

This review is from: Robert Anton Wilson Explains Everything: (or Old Bob Exposes His Ignorance) (Audio CD)
The packaging claims to include the lectures Religion for the Hell of It, The Acceleration of Knowledge, and the New Inquisition, as part of a "collector's edition". The CDs DO NOT contain these lectures. Five CDs are in the package, as the package claims, but the lectures are not there.
The interviews with RAW are excellent.
