I've been very tempted to get this 4CD box set but always decide against it. It has songs drawn from his peak 1970s period (ie, non-gospel) with very few rarities (I think maybe just one long live track?). On the one hand, these kinds of boxes are great for artists who have long, spotty album catalogs, but on the other hand, this does not describe Al Green. His studio albums are mostly strong, and so I have most if not all of them. I also thought about the 3CD Anthology, but that's a rarities box as I understand it, which I only get if it proves somehow to be essential in one way or another, which this one does not appear to be. Here's the cover on that one:
