Query: Extremely disappointing.

An overwrought collection which should be avoided by newcomers and die-hards alike, WORKSHOP OF THE TELESCOPES, offers too much and too little at the same time. There is little of any value here for the dedicated BOC fan - a mere handful of unreleased tracks that would have largely been better left in the vaults and a questionable selection of "hits" from BOC's catalogue. Any curious fan may be turned off by the large number of tracks from the group's latter period. A much better introduction would be either the concise best-of recently released by Columbia or the group's first three albums, which can often be found packaged together at a bargain price. These along with AGENTS OF FORTUNE effectively capture BOC at their best. To the dedicated fan - leave this expensive set on the shelf and wait for a better set of rarities.
