Adult Music At Its Finest
If you're a fan of rap and techno whatever you'll probably hate this set but if you like good music than get this. Mark covers many different styles but keeps it smooth and enjoyable. Noting too much or too little. I was surprised to hear James Taylor's voice on a song. Great writing and performing. The plastic free case saves space. My only negative is one of the albums isn't mixed very well otherwise the production is great.Get this.

Incomplete Collection
The albums in the box are top quality, but the two studio albums that Knopfler produced with Chet Atkins and Emmy Lou Harris during the time period listed are not included. If you are a true fan of MK, these are glaring omissions. I bought all of his albums on CD when they were first released, and just about wore them out over the years. I got this collection to replace the originals, but now I'll need to purchase the two collaborations separately. The second compilation for 2009-2018 stops at Down the Road Wherever and doesn't include the Atkins or Harris albums either, as they were pre-2009.

Good value
It's amazing to hear how far an artist like Mark Knopfler has come since his days with Dire Straits. I have wanted this box set for some time and when it was available for under $150 I was all over it. Definitely worth it, the quality is good, one of the disc's popped a lot on one song but all things considered I'm real happy with it. Once the second box set gets reduced to under $150 it's mine!

Great Collection
This is a wonderful collection of the first four studio albums of Mark Knopfler. The fifth CD is a collection of B-sides. The sound was terrific on every CD. I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Exactly As Advertised
This set is a keeper. It's a pleasure to lose yourself in Mark Knopfler's music and with the sheer volume of material on the CD sets it's easy to do. The set arrived at my home a few days earlier than advertised and the bargain for what you get is undeniable. Do yourself a favor and buy this product.
