This set captures some of the most influential 60s blues-rock ever recorded. Mike Bloomfield's guitar work and Paul Butterfield's harmonica and vocals on the first two albums are historic. As the band transitions into Discs 3, 4, and 5, the sound leans into jazz, soul, and horn-heavy experimentation. While critics and fans widely agree that the band peaks with the first two records, the latter three still offer a fascinating look at their evolution, even if they split fan opinions.
