In 2005 MCA/Universal repackaged B.B. King's greatest live albums -- Live at the Regal, Blues Is King and Live in Cook County Jail -- as a three-CD box set. It's not a bad way to acquire the albums if you don't already own them, but there are no bonus tracks or new packaging or remastering, which means it's of marginal interest to hardcore collectors. ~ Al Campbell
