for slightly less than 40 Euro.
The big box books contain 106 chapters, the Black Europe "light"
digipack presents four artists, also covered in greater depth in the
box. My copy of the digipack just arrived. The transfers are astounding.
Listen to Pete Hampton's crisp performances, an eye (ear) opener.
