Price: $11.60
(as of Dec 01, 2024 20:44:10 UTC - Details)
Limited super deluxe 44 CD set including bonus vinyl LP. Madfish presents the complete works of a collective who are, simply, one of America's most important pop groups ever. A quartet who sang about the everyday tragedies and victories that they shared with their audience. A group of the people, for the people. Rhythm and blues was barely even pregnant with rock 'n roll when a Jersey boy called Francesco Stephen Castelluccio, AKA Frankie Valli, took his first teenage steps in music. This set documents a career from 1961 to 2016 featuring 31 newly remastered studio albums and all of Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons' worldwide singles. Over 800 tracks including bonus live albums, demos, outtakes, b-sides and more. A replica triple foldout sleeve LP issue of The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette (available for the first time ever on mono vinyl). A hard back coffee table book that tells the full story of Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons by long-time Seasons' expert Paul Sexton, including interviews conducted by Ken Sharp and contributions from Brian Wilson, Barry & Maurice Gibb and Billy Joel. A portfolio chronicling single & EP sleeves from around the world, including chart placings. A 'Collector's Notes' Book from Four Seasons Appreciation Society's Ken Charmer. Compiled with full co-operation and support of Frankie Valli and Bob Gaudio. With career sales of over 175 million records and their long-time membership of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons have inspired fans and enlightened the music world for more than sixty years.

Title: Superb box set!
Review: What can I say. The most comprehensive and massive box set in my collection. Arrived safe and double packed for extra security. All I can say is Wow! Just an amazing body of work from Frankie and the boys. I got it on sale at $250 and couldnât be happier. Remember to keep the stuff you want in your carts as Amazon will eventually discount the item giving you a chance to get what you want at an amazing price. So very impressed ! Thank you to whoever designed and thought about putting this killer collections together, simply stunning!

Title: Ultimate Collection Indeed!
Review: By far the largest collection of recordings by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasonsâall their released works and much, much more never before releasedâthis is an expensive product but well worth the money if you have it to spare whether you are a lifelong Seasons fan, like me, or a new fan who discovered the group through the smash Jersey Boys Broadway musical that chronicles their career. The sound quality is superb. The three books are well-written and informative. The newly unearthed songs are so good that it's hard to believe they weren't released before now. Best of all, this gorgeous box set includes a complete reproduction of the newspaper-style cover of the Seasons' epic Genuine Imitation Life Gazette album. I consider this box set so important to our cultural heritage that I bought a second copy to give as a holiday present to a couple of fans in their 20s so that it will be enjoyed and admired for many decades to come. Roll over, Beethoven. The 4 Seasons will be as immortal as you are.

Title: The Best
Review: A fantastic and complete box set. As a true fan, it was worth every penny. I don't understand why most of the other reviews posted refer to a two cd purchase and not this 44 cd set (that just got released June 6th 2023).

Title: Very Comprehensive Limited Edition Box Set
Review: This limited edition (44 CD and one vinyl LP) box set is an excellent collection containing stereo, mono, single mixes, B-sides, demos, some remixes, live performances, and unreleased gems. The booklets are nicely made and very interesting to read. As a whole, I am happy with this box set purchase.There are a couple of things that could have been improved. The cardboard sleeves are a bit flimsy and are very difficult to remove from the four deep storage compartments that house the CDs. Already I have some minor scuffs on the top of some covers from struggling to remove them from the tightly packed storage holes. It would have been nice to have plastic outer sleeves on the album covers to protect them from getting scuffed, as well as having different types of compartments that don't pack the covers in so tightly.As for the discs themselves, an inner plastic sleeve for each disc would have helped to protect the discs from getting scuffed or scratched. (Side note to the record company- If you're going to charge $400 for a CD box set, do it right. Include inner and outer plastic sleeves and don't skimp on the cover construction.)Also, some of the tracks were labeled as being in mono but sounded like they were in stereo.Other than the comments above, this is an excellent box set to have and will be a nice addition to your Four Seasons collection. I do recommend purchasing it.Side note- there is another collection with the same title that came out a few years ago. This was a double CD collection and some reviewers are getting confused between the two titles. Both products seem to be listed under the same reviews as one product. The box set was issued in 2023, so anything that was reviewed before that year refers to the other (2 CD) compilation.

Title: Some songs marked stereo are mono
Review: A good historical set of a group that seen it all and done it all while Frankie Valli chooses to perform at the age of 89. They also out lasted the Beatles.

Review: A HUGE BOX 44 CDs AND A MONO 12" VINYL LP,A HUGE BOOK TELLING THE BAND'S STORY,ANOTHER BOOK ILLUSTRATING ALL THE SINGLE PICTURE SLEEVES AND EACH CD IN A CARD SLEEVE REPLICATING THE ORIGINAL LP COVER,WITH LOADS OF PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MIXES,LIVE RECORDINGS,DEMOS AND OTHER BONUS TRACKS.CAN'T SEE THE POINT OF HAVING THE SAME ALBUM ON THE SAME CD IN BOTH MONO AND STEREO THOUGH.

Review: Eine groÃe Box im LP-Format, 44 CDs, eine Schallplatte (Meisterwerk: The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette), ein Buch zur Geschichte der Band plus Interviews, ein Heftchen mit Erläuterungen zu den einzelnen Alben und ein dickeres Heftchen mit Abbildungen der verschiedenen 45-Singles.Der Amazonservice Autorip bezieht sich allerdings nicht auf das gesamte Werk, sondern nur auf eine "Best of" mit 41 Titeln.Es gab vor ein paar Jahren die "Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons The classic Albums box" und die "Frankie Valli Selected Solo Works Box", zusammen jetzt um die 130 Euro bei Amazon. Was bietet die neue Box, die zur Zeit mehr als doppelt so teuer ist, mehr? Erstmal braucht die Box viel mehr Platz weil riesig und neben dem Buch/Heftchen, die toll gestaltet sind, sind auf den frühen Alben sowohl die Mono- als auch Stereoversionen drauf. Zudem gibt es nun auf jeder CD Bonustracks aus der entsprechenden Ãra: Singleversionen, Demos oder Alternative Versionen. Enthalten sind auch die späteren Valli Alben, Remix-Alben aus den 80ern, die Reunite-Live-CD und unveröffentlichte Live-Konzerte aus den frühen 1970ern. Insgesamt ziemlich komplett und eine runde Sache. Die Tonqualität ist, bis auf die Bonus-Live-CDs top. Warum dann 1 Stern Abzug? Für Amazons AutoRipPolitik kann die Box nix, aber ich auch nicht und wenn da steht "Autorip", dann erwarte ich die ganze Box und nicht eine Best of. Aber was mich an der Box stört ist die Auswahl der Live-Aufnahmen. Warum 3 ganze CDs mit Konzerten aus den frühen 70ern, die zudem klangtechnisch nicht gut sind? Da wären mir Aufnahmen, die das gesamte "Bandleben" abdecken lieber gewesen, also auch eine Aufnahme aus den 60ern und 80ern (immerhin gibt es eine DVD aus der Zeit). Vielleicht lag es, wie so oft, an den Rechten. Insgesamt bietet das vorliegende Boxset trotzdem einen echten Mehrwert gegenüber der eingangs erwähnten Boxen. Ach so, die beiliegende Schallplatte ist, auÃer den Plattenlabels, eine Repressung mit Original Cover und kompletten Booklet. Sehr schön. Allerdings liegt auch eine CD mit Kinderliedversionen bei, dazu möchte ich nicht mehr schreiben. 🙂
