I never new about it when it originally came out, and each time it has appeared for sale, I was either too late, or didn't have the money for it. But now I finally got one!!! Number 000290 It's beautifully done!  |

Congratulations!
The Japanese CD box set appears to be done very nicely with miniature versions of the original studio album covers. Even the self-titled third CD has the tuck-in envelope design of the album cover and the "Passage" album opens up like a greeting card. (Do the "A Song for You," "Now and Then" and "Horizon" CDs have the fold-out flaps as well?) What is the item in your photo between the flip-top box and the "Offering" CD?
Looks like you are getting some great finds for your collection!

I got my set on eBay last week. YES!! ASFY & N&T have the fold out flaps as well. The other item in the photo is a scarf. Can't wait for it to get windy here, so I can wear it LOL!!!!

Wow - what a beautiful looking set! You're quite fortunate to have found it, and you should be pleased! Quite a nice collection, all in one set. It seems really nicely done, too - original artwork and all. Good Job tracking it down and being in the "right place at the right time." Delighted for you - Enjoy!!! Tim  |

 Yes, great find PEPE. I had the opportunity to purchase this about three years ago when I spotted it at Pepperland ( a small music store in Orange, California). They were asking $300.00 for it. I came back home to consider it and when I went back the next day it was gone. I kick myself now for not acting on the impulse at the moment.
Yes, this is one collection which I have read is very nicely done. I will one of these days purchase it - most likely from Amazon.com.
By the way... does "Horizon" have the fold out flap as on the original album? |

Hey Rick, good to see you back!! YES, even Horizon has the flap. They really went all out on this set. That sucks about the box set at Pepperland (I've been there myself). I've just finished scanning all the covers and loading each song & appropriate album cover into my iTunes.

Hey... maybe one of these days we can meet at Pepperland (I love that store)... I will follow-up with on that one through email. |
