    Such a cheap way to buy highlights from rare albums, see it, buy it. I got this 30 years ago and after years of searching got most of the lp's featured...only to find , mostly, best tracks are on here. Great sound, great tracks, great cover., whats not to love ?

      Rumour has it, that this was the first release with advertising Harvest inner sleeves ... but I can't where that came from.
