Each of the first 3 CDs corresponds to one of the three albums, but each contains 26 tracks, so about half of it is bonus material. I only have the #1 Record/Radio City two-fer and the Ryko Third/Sister Lovers. So there's a lot here that's new to me. No to mention many of the tracks here are alternate mixes. And the sound quality is awesome.
The fourth CD is a 20-track live set from January, 1973 -- just after Chris Bell left the band. Haven't listened to that yet. There's also a music video for the song "Thirteen", made up of archival footage.
The set includes a very nice book with pics and nice text. I'm only vaguely familiar with the history of Big Star, so this was very welcome.
