For this special edition, all five albums have been carefully remastered, bringing renewed depth and clarity to the band's warm, melodic sound. The box set's packaging has also been thoughtfully updated by Natalie Merchant herself. Presented on six classic black vinyl records, this beautifully produced collection is a must-have for longtime fans and vinyl collectors alike.
