Studio Nights 6 cd set

Is it worth to get? I've seen it somewhere for about $52.00.
What is it about? Does it have most of his early stuff on it? Let a brotha know. Thanks in advance.

If you can get it for $52, your getting a deal IMO. I believe it is a great boot and allot of the content is not avalible on other sets that I have seen. I was super stoked when I got mine, I paid about $120 for it. Check out

purplemusic.net they should have the track list and a brief disc.

I beleive its the earliest recordings you can get.

Unless you're buying it for a collection or something, I wouldn't bother.

You can easily download most bootleg releases these days.

I have an original Studio Nights and City Lights which I bought when they were first released, but the last boot I bought was Thunderball's Dream Factory release.

Since then I've just downloaded any I wanted.

Studio nights is a good buy for $52.00. If you ever run across the City Lights set or any of The Work sets then get them on sight. You won`t regret it.
My DC Direct wishlist: 1) Bane, 2) Prof Zoom, 3) Superman Blue, 4) Kilowag, 5) Parasite

"Studio Nights" is particularly good value for money since it contains the earliest 76-78 demos in the best available sound quality, which isn't saying a lot, given the horrid state of the so-called " boom box demos", but "Studio Nights" definitely remains the lesser of two evils.

Besides, The Work vol.1 only carry a tiny selection from the unreleased demos from the pre-'For You' era, but they noticeably buggered up the sound when they attempted to "improve" the sound quality on those poor songs.

If you're an audiophile, or are simply seeking to get the complete earliest demos (as catalogued in 'Turn It Up 2.0') in the best sounding quality possible, then go for the "Studio Nights" set.
