(4-CD LP-sized box set with 36-page book) The 5-star reviews for this set showed that Flatt & Scruggs are far from forgotten since they split up in 1969. Here we have their complete Mercury recordings as well as the Columbia recordings from 1950-1959. Of course, this set includes the original version of <i>Foggy Mountain Breakdown</i>, but it's no exaggeration to say that every one of the 112 tracks is a gem. Titles include <i>Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms</i>, <i>Jimmie Brown The Newsboy</i>, <i>Tis Sweet To Be Remembered</i>, <i>Earl's Breakdown</i>, <i>Flint Hill Special</i>, <i>Dim Lights Thick Smoke</i>, <i>Foggy Mountain Chimes</i>, and 'Six White Horses'. Bluegrass music comes no purer or finer.
