This is a box set that has recordings from before the formation of Led Zeppelin right through until the Knebworth Silver Clef performance in 1990. It comprises a selection of previously expensive releases into a single set. The soundboard quality is excellent and creates a retrospective of Led Zeppelin's unofficial and unreleased body of work. (The packaging includes 8 compact discs in separate picture sleeves, a VHS video in PAL format, and a 120 page booklet detailing all bootlegs to date including a 'Top 50 Rarest Led Zeppelin and Related Records' list. The original 1995 release suffered from printing problems with the artwork, which included incorrect concert dates, venues, and track lengths.) A corrected version of the art is available at ZeppelinArt.com. There is still considerable debate over whether Jimmy Page actually performed on the Lucifer Rising takes.

Wiki:
Cactus Choir is the first solo album by British keyboardist Dave Greenslade, released in 1976 soon after the disbandment of his own eponymous band, Greenslade. It is loosely based on a concept about the colonization of American West, and it features a simpler sound than previous Greenslade albums.
The artwork for the album cover is by Roger Dean.

Fuzz Acid & Flowers:
A marginal case for inclusion since this album is basically hippie-influenced country rock. Pleasant enough with some good guitar moments but in no way exceptional. It has yet to create much interest among collectors. Two of the best tracks were also issued on the above 45. Other memorable songs are Recollections Of Jessica and St. Anne's Pretension.
OK Sam was later ripped off and recorded as Important Exportin' Man by the New Riders Of The Purple Sage on their Panama Red album. Tim Hovey (co-author of same) had been a major child movie star of the 1950's. Tragically he recently commited suicide.
John Rapp later died of a drug overdose, Gordon Huntley was later a member of Elton John's band and Matthew Kelly is a current member of Ratdog (Bob Weir's Grateful Dead carry-overs). He has also played on many of the Dead's projects, over the years. Finally, Bob Legate became a successful real estate broker and currently plays with the Grateful Living.

Wiki:
According to critic Richie Unterberger, the album was poorly reviewed on its initial release, due in part to its shift towards soul/R&B and away from the hard rock/psychedelic sound that brought her to fame with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Over the decades, Unterberger notes that opinions of the album have warmed somewhat and that taken on its own merits the album has its strengths, but he nonetheless describes it as a "flawed" effort due in part to the backing musicians sounding "a little stiff"
