The Chess Box Sets

[Fresh Tendrils]

I'm curious. There are two Chess Box Sets I want to pick up, Muddy Waters and Chuck Berry, and I was wondering anybody had either of the two? If so, how is the quality of the recordings and selections? I have Chuck's Anthology which is 20 songs fewer than the Box Set and love it, so getting the Chess Box seems like a reasonable move. Not sure on Muddy Waters though.

I've listened to loads of Muddy Waters, but I don't know what you are expecting of this box set; Well, what I'm saying is, that it is probably a good buy no matter what.

You can't go wrong with the greatness of Chuck Berry. I've got to invest in more of him.

Well, from Muddy Waters, I know I want Hard Again (which isn't included in the Chess Box Set) and his Plantation Recordings. That's a pretty good chunk of music from him and I don't think much, if anything, is on more than one of the three I want to pick up.
