Criticism
No bonus material or early non LP hit singles are included in the compilation. There are several mislabelings as well. Ummagumma's live album and studio album CD labels are switched on some and the lyrics for side three of The Wall are printed on the third and fourth side's sections with the fourth's lyrics given no representation at all, though EMI has taken steps to correct this with replacement sleeves for owners of the box set.
