A 4‑disc archival box set released by Cherry Red Records (CRTREEBOX025, 2021), compiling Ian A. Anderson’s formative recordings from the late ’60s and early ’70s. It brings together his early blues, psych‑folk, and experimental work, including three full original albums, a rare compilation, and a large collection of non‑album singles, demos, and previously unused tracks.

All audio is remastered, and the package includes extensive liner notes, period photos, and full track annotations.
