I have the four disc set of this. I think this one (the three disc set) is the complete original. The fourth disc is alternate takes and miscellaneous. Anyway the four disc set is now very expensive and it’s the three disc one I will listen to. I will never like Ira’s lyrics. I think they are obtuse and uninspired and get the point across in a clumsy, heavy-handed and obvious way. And I think they are a burden on his brother’s wonderful tunes. They obscure them rather than complimenting and setting them off. But the music can’t be beat. This set starts with two instrumental tracks. I don’t like the first track but the second is an orchestral arrangement of the piano piece Two Preludes, and I love it. The original solo piano version is wonderful too. Though not on this album it is easy to find. Ella Fitzgerald also is wonderful. There are lots and lots of songs on this. Three discs, 18 tracks on each. Every song I know or ever liked by the Gershwins is here. If you like them at all, I recommend this. I’m beginning to like them more listening to this.Read full review
