This set offers a great range of some really good musicals. However there are some things the play.com article doesn't detail.
Firstly, I was disappointed with the sound quality of some of them as it was as bad as 1.0 Mono. I've listed the sound quality below as it is stated on the box:
1. My Fair Lady: 5.1 Dolby Surround2. Singin' in the Rain: 1.0 Mono3. High Society: 5.1 Dolby Digital4. Calamity Jane: 1.0 Mono5. Gigi: 2.0 Dolby Surround6. Annie Get Your Gun: 1.0 Mono7. Meet Me In St Louis: 5.1 Dolby Digital8. Seven Brides For Seven Brothers: 5.1 Dolby Digital9. The Wizard Of Oz: 5.1 Dolby Surround
(In case you don't know, 1.0 Mono makes it sound really flat and you have to turn up the volume a lot to hear it properly. 5.1 is a good sound quality that you get on most normal DVDs).
Also, the DVD boxes aren't standard thickness, but are instead about 5mm thick.
Finally, the printed design of the DVD cover… more »
Finally, the printed design of the DVD cover (that you get when you buy them individually) is reduced in size on Gigi, Annie Get Your Gun, Wizard of OZ, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and High Society. The design is in the middle and the rest of the space is taken up by a gold colour, with "The Essential Musical Collection" branded across the top. The other ones have a full size DVD cover.
The last two points are nothing major, but for example you can't buy the box set with a view to handing out the DVDs separately as gifts. Other than that the last two things don't have any impact on the product. But the sound quality is a major drawback.
