I know that this is mainly just another compilation, but the strange thing is that it features a Yamamoto song, which since Raging Blast 2 & Kai they've removed almost all of Yamamoto music tracks from the market. Apologies if this has already been clarified elsewhere but it's somewhat annoying that after all they decided to bring back Yamamoto again.

By removing the original Kai soundtrack from Kai that ruined the later sagas for me (no modern or cinematic feeling), although Raging Blast 2 with BT2 score is pretty good.

Anyway, for £17 it's an okay price I think.

It's not really a Kenji Yamamoto song. He did the arrangement (under his own name) and the instrumentation (under "MONOLITH"), but the actual composition was by Chiho Kiyo’oka.

The same goes for a bunch of other songs, like "Kimi ga Hero" (DBZ Movie 6 closing). So long as he didn't compose it himself, things that Yamamoto touched -- like the eyecatch music in Kai, which is based on "Dragon Soul" -- seem to remain unscathed.
