Release Notes

• Label: Rhino Records

• Catalogue#: 0825646839476

• Format: 5 x CD box set

• Released: 2009 (UK & Europe)

Remarks

• The individual CDs come in a cardboard slipcase with the original coverart and

are housed in a cardboard case large enough for the five of them and open to one side.

• The cover design of this series follows the ever same example:

a format-wide photo of the band/artist surrounded with a white frame is horizontally crossed

by an information section sized around one third of the picture and often on the background

of a coloured transparent bar gives the band name, the Original Album Series name and

below some miniature pictures of the albums included in the compilation in their chronological

order of release. The location of this info section can vary vertically, but mostly leaves a

smaller part of the photo visible below that section than above.

• The back of the box set repeats that information section in the upper third of the format.

Here, however, a black background within a white frame is used in place of the photo listing

the albums and their tracklists as well as some additional information on the production.

The album titles are printed in red, while all other information comes in white print.
