(info taken from www.infromthestorm.net)
I was lucky to grab this from www.play.com for €15,- (!!!) before it was supposedly withdrawn.
It still is on sale as far as I know.
Because the booklet is too thick to scan I have put as much of all the relevant trackinfo of the first three discs in the tracknames (the cardboardsleeves only have plain titles printed on it; the back of the box is a little incomplete imho.
I just love this boxset. And it has the "new" Valleys Of Neptune track on it (an instrumental version) + a different take of Cat Talkin' to Me. Both tracks appear on the newly released 7-inch.
I decided to put my own digitalised version of this vinyl single as a bonus in this torrent.
Enjoy the outtakes and the livegigs.
