This superb compilation comprises 3 x CDs in their own card sleeves in a beautifully designed box complete with a booklet. I prefer the earlier psych stuff myself and its a joy to hear classics from Tintern Abbey, Virgin Sleep and 23rd Turnoff remastered.

The discs and their covers are near mint, the booklet and the box are EX, lovely condition.
