This review is based on the quality of the re-issue, not the material.

Based on the 2 previous reviews, I thought these CD's were remastered. THEY ARE NOT. The only thing new is the cover photo. I already have the individul CD's in this collection and the CD's in this set are exactly the same. All they did is re-package them. These CD's were mastered in 1990 and 1991. The sound is OK for that time, but they are in need of a real remaster. There are no new liner notes. The CD album inserts are exactly like the ones from the indiviual CD's. The sound is at a low level, the bass lacking and highs are tinny.

At least the full album version of Love to Love you baby is available on the Ultimate Collection CD and it IS remastered. Hopefully, they will eventually remaster these albums for the fans. So far, Bad Girs (Deluxe Edition) is Donna's only full album to be recently remastered.

Packaged like a box set, this compilation from Mercury contains

Love to Love You Baby, A Love Trilogy, and Four Seasons of Love -

the three albums Donna Summer released during 1975 and 1976.

The packaging is as cheap as it gets.

The plastic rungs are flimsy and can't hold the discs,

so the discs will slip out every time the set is handled.

The individual booklets for each album are included,

so you could put the discs in separate jewel cases,

but you'd be missing the tray cards for the spines & back covers.

I have been waiting for remastered versions of Donna Summer's classic albums...and here are three more (Bad Girls is already out!). Sound is amazing...to hear the full version of "Try me...." "Could it be magic", and All of Four Season of Love remastered really puts it all back in focus...THESE ARE GREAT ALBUMS!!!

Well, I'll be short and sweet. This music has been in my collection from album format to 8 track to cassette and CD. NOW remastered CDs. There isn't a note or a breath that I didn't know. I THOUGHT! The clarity of these discs is AMAZING. It is stunning to sit and listen to this very very familiar music that dates back very nearly 30 years and hear new layers of sound, electronic effects, instruments, etc.

Anyone that is familiar and thinks that they don't NEED this addition to their collection is wrong. Anyone that is curious as to what the buzz is all about won't be disappointed.

Madonna Schmadonna - Moby Schmoby...THIS is the true birth and genesis of electronica!
