Review:
An unbelievable labor of love. Scorpio has collected virtually every cover song performed over the last decade, and presented them on this mind blowing 9 CD box set. The recordings vary in quality a little bit, due to some being mastered from analog cassette. Most, however are digital sources in excellent sound quality. Scorpio has thoughtfully listed the original source tape of each track as analog, DAT, or CD. The material on the nine discs has been grouped together according to the genre of the music, for a better listening experience. Each CD package is given it's own tongue-in-cheek title depending on the type of music on the disc. The discs are 24 karat gold plated for an unmatched reflective surface. The track titles are silk screened on each, along with a knock-off of the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab's "OMR" logo. Beautiful down to the last detail, each disc is housed in it's own cardboard photo sleeve. On the back of each sleeve is a montage of the venue ticket stubs, and full track list and venue information. The box is high gloss in the tradition of the earlier 'Genuine' boxes. The beautiful cover photo is from the February 20, 1991 Grammy Awards ceremony. Once again, Scorpio reigns supreme.
