Companies putting extra effort into box sets

Source: http://www.bayarea.com/ml...731729.htm
Prince, "One Nite Alone ... Live" (npg records, four CDs, $50).

Boxworthiness: This is a treat from start to finish. Prince has augmented his solo album, "One Nite Alone," sold only through his Web site, with a box full of goodies that shows that his songwriting skills are as fine as ever. The big surprise is that Prince seems to be enjoying himself again. The live CDs ("One Nite Alone ... Live") capture him joking with the audience and building a lighthearted rapport, something that had been missing in recent years, as he tackles new songs and classics such as "Raspberry Beret" and "I Wanna Be Your Lover."

The extras: This set has everything a deluxe package should offer, from the unreleased "It Ain't Over" jam CD, including an excellent live version of "Alphabet St." with the New Power Generation, to a fold-out poster and first-rate jumbo booklet.

The missing: Nothing, really, though a live version of "Kiss" or "Gett Off" would have made it even better.

Grade: A
