Nice box for the obvious reason that it's a comprehensive collection of NMH's recordings, including some golden unreleased cuts. The posters are sweet, too, as are the 12" gatefold sleeves. However, the On Avery Island and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea LPs are somewhat thinner pressings than the copies that are sold individually; the interior frame of the box used to keep the records in place is made out of some pretty flimsy cardboard; and the exterior of the box is susceptible to wear over years, with specks of the cardboard's colouring coming off little by little.
