purchased in 2002. unlike the newer releases of this set, the older sets feature a textured velvet box(the newer ones are cheap quality, the texture is just printed on). collectors box includes 8 records and a book includes alternate recordings, live performances, and some rarities. although most of the material had been released in earlier compilations, some previously unreleased material (such as live versions of killing floor and the wind cries mary) is also included. box shows minor wear on bottom(see last photo). all 8 records and book are in excellent condition.
