First of all, Let me just state that I am a huge Eurythmics fan - i just love them. Now obviously, if you dont really like the Eurythmics, then, well, this probably isn't for you! But if you do like them, if you love songs like "Sweet Dreams", "There Must Be an Angel", "sisters are doing it for themselves" and so on - well, you should certainly buy this.
The box is very pretty - Black, with 'Eurythmics' in one side then loads of songs printed artistically. The albums themselves are in 8 digipacks - cool CD cases, which unfold and have lots of cool extra artwork that weren't necessarily in the original albums. Also inlay cards with info about the albums. Each album also has a few bonus tracks on. Did I mention how beautiful Annie and Dave are?
The only down side is the lack of '1984' - in my opinion one of their best records. This is due to it being on Virgin Records and not RCA.
What I liked about it was that I had heard 5 or 6 eurythmics songs and loved them, and as I came late to them (i.e. not being alive in the 80s, alas), it was good to just get a complete library of their records.
Of course, throughout the albums, Annie Lennox's voice shines out - in my opinion, she has one of the best, or best, voices, in music in the last 50 years. She sings with such passion. I adore her. Anyone who saw her performance of 'Why' at Live 8 would have been hard pushed not to shed a tear or two!
Now - since there are over 100 songs here i can't possibly comment on them all - i will just talk about a few highlights.
