Well let's take a look at that Bear Family Abbott release of material that Jim himself wanted to "deep six" (his words).
Now the foreign website is proclaiming "It is difficult to find the right meaningful expletives & adjectives to describe this unbelievable offer" and goes on to say the price has been slashed on these retreads (that have been re-released many times over the years) to "less than half price."
However, the site then disparages fans outside Europe by noting "It's quite evident that this deal has been earmarked essentially for Jim's still loyal UK (FREE POSTAGE) & European market and NOT for the US market." WOW. What a put-down of the rest of Jim's fans around the world who ARE -- I can assure you -- "still loyal" to him.
it's just that they realize that the overpriced boxed set contains inferior material that is not representative of Jim's preferred singing style, and was such an embarrassment to him that he only performed a handful of those Abbott songs the remainder of his life!
But this is the really laughable part of the post. It states "Amazon's own editorial review sums up the importance of owning this set..."
It then goes on to quote from the product description POSTED BY THE SELLER, who controls what is said about it. So it wasn't AMAZON endorsing this Abbott release! That's an outright lie.
Amazon did not "review" this product. Of course, Peter Atkinson did. He gave the Abbott release 5 stars. Figures, doesn't it?
