`Chronicles' comprises Donna Summer's first three US albums remastered and boxed together in a long plastic case; `Love to love you baby', `A love trilogy' and `Four seasons of love' (see my individual reviews for these), and decently priced too.

Unlike `Bad girls' which was remastered (and released as `Bad girls deluxe edition) in 2003, this does not come with any extra tracks, remixes, liner notes or additional photos (except the lovely photo of Donna singing on the box). What you get are the original releases in stunning clarity. Listening to the songs on my iPod, I'm hearing details I didn't know was there 30 years ago.

For any Summer completist, it is a real treat to have the long version of `Try me' as well as the full version of `Could it be magic', `Wasted' `Come with me', `Summer fever', `Pandora's box', and every other track in stunning clarity. Also, for those buying these CDs for the first time, I would reccommend this.

Ok, 4 down (actually 5, Christmas Spirit has been remastered as `20th Century masters - The Christmas collection'), now I'm waiting for `I remember yesterday', `Once upon a time', `Live and more' (with ALL the photos, liner notes AND `McArthur Park Suite'), etc etc remastered.
