NotesThis collection brings together in an inexpensive and definitive edition the full contents of all earlier Henry Cow releases, with the addition of a further 60 page booklet of newly unearthed, or commissioned, band commentaries, pictures and other documents prepared specifically for this box - as well as re-mastered versions of all the studio CDs and a rare previously not for sale bonus CD - Cabinet of Curiosities. This collection offers a major retrospective of one of Britain's most resilient and elusive bands - and a redress to the rather over-tidy story told on their 5 officially released LPs. Like Frank Zappa or Harry Partch, Henry Cow were mavericks, working without compromise at the edge of their field and systematically breaking the rules and conventions that restrained it. In the 40 years since they disbanded, their work has acquired a formidable reputation, leading finally to this definitive collection - which replaces a chaotic mass of degraded bootlegs with properly mastered, carefully selected and thoroughly annotated lost projects, compositions and performances.
For those of us who wanted all that could be had of the eclectic Henry Cow during their 10 year existence this doesn't get any better. If you are not familiar with this band please try Leg End or Unrest before committing to this set. Durable, attractive packaging and 3 drool worthy historical booklets makes this the feast of ages for HC fans.
I feel badly for those who committed to the early three set offerings sold before this fully compiled set was created. If you are a fan wait no longer. I know it killed me to wait until this came out but I outlasted the Music Industry Money Thugs who were clipping people more than what I just paid for essentially the whole shebang. The three individual sets were going for around $75 to $125 each which cost you from $225 to $375 to purchase before shipping, handling and state taxes. I paid less than $90 total for all of the same material.
