Given 9 out of 10 from pitchfork, who labelled it a brilliant masterpiece, I wholeheartedly agree. Each song is so well crafted and the lyrics and story telling so good. My favourite boxset.

Originally released in 1999. 6xLP is black ten-inch vinyl in box with ten-inch book insert and full album download. 3xCD is jewel case box set and book insert.
