Here, Apple's exhaustive 2010 reissue campaign is condensed into a single limited box set containing all of the individual albums from the series -- Badfinger's Magic Christian Music, No Dice, Straight Up, and Ass; Mary Hopkin's Post Card and Earth Song, Ocean Song; James Taylor's eponymous debut; Jackie Lomax's Is This What You Want?; Billy Preston's Encouraging Words and That's the Way God Planned It; Doris Troy's self-titled album; the Modern Jazz Quartet two-fer of Under the Jasmin Tree and Space; the Radha Krishna Temple's LP; John Tavener's The Whale/Celtic Requiem -- along with the accompanying single-disc compilation Come and Get It and a two-disc set of 37 Apple rarities that rounds up tracks available elsewhere as digital downloads (none of these are better than the bonus tracks added to respective reissues; they're generally good but not noteworthy). Housed in a crate replicating an original Apple promo item, this handsome set may be expensive but it's cheaper than buying these discs individually, so any collector in for the whole shebang should give this box serious consideration. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
