The one *not* to buy is the 14-disc box " Complete Basil Rathbone
Collection" that Amazon claims as an exclusive - it sounds like Rice
Krispies and makes you feel as though your glasses need cleaning.

The 7-disc "Definitive" box is the restored one, which Amazon are also
selling - at �24.97 at the moment. - there are two movies per disc, on
single-sided dual layer discs so it doesn't involve any turning over. The
picture quality is the best I've seen for these movies.

When I bought it a couple of weeks ago, one of the Amazon sellers listed
under "more buying choices" was selling it for �19.95, so I bought it from
him, but the present �24.97 that Amazon are knocking it out at still looks
like a good deal to me.
