Sidis William

A 18 mesi legge il New York Times, a 4 anni impara da solo greco e latino, a 6 memorizza all'istante ogni libro che sfoglia, parla dieci lingue e ne inventa una nuova, il vendergood, e dopo aver scritto saggi di matematica e astronomia presenta undicenne a Harvard la sua teoria sulla Quarta dimensione. Vissuto tra New York e Boston nella prima metà del '900, figlio di immigrati ucraini di origini ebraiche, William Sidis è stato non solo un bambino prodigio, ma una delle menti più eccelse di ogni tempo, con il quoziente intellettivo più alto mai misurato…

Available exclusively from Sony's Pop Market website, The Columbia Masters is a compact, 16-disc box set that includes Earth, Wind & Fire's 15 Columbia albums - from 1972's Last Days and Time through 1990's Heritage - individually packaged in mini-LP replica sleeves. A 16th disc, dubbed Constellations: The Universe of Earth, Wind & Fire, collects rarities and several of leader Maurice White's outside productions for the likes of Ramsey Lewis, Neil Diamond, and Barbra Streisand. There's also a thick booklet with notes penned by White. Since EW&F's Columbia releases were remastered/reissued in 2004, a fair portion of the group's devout fans will see this as redundant; part of that faction will also covet disc 16, unavailable elsewhere. Those who had been waiting for a comprehensive box finally get one, with a price that should average out to less than 10.00 U.S. dollars per disc.
