WOW, I was going to buy the box set but did a little research and the first three records (Diamond Life, Promise, Stronger Than Pride) in first releases/pressings are much better sounding. So I found first pressings of all three from the Carrollton, GA in NM and I am so impressed by the sound. It is the best I have heard Sade and it sounds as good as any audiophile LPs I have. I would recommend these pressing as you can still find them at a great price and are a superior sound.
