An anthology stuffed with previously unreleased material can feel like an entree made of kitchen scraps, but Arthur Russell's involvement changes matters: After all, the vast majority of his wide-ranging oeuvre has only emerged in the years since his death from AIDS in 1992, at the age of 40. It's incredible what passed for castoffs in the late 1970s. During the brief window with which they were active.
