Having been involved closely with Dave Cousins in helping to put this together, I'm really really delighted with the results - it's the boxed set I would always have wanted from the Strawbs. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Please don't hesitate to e-mail me if you want any further information - but please don't send orders to me.

Best wishes
