The concept of the package is a recreation of the original jacket and inserts from the 1970 vinyl release, which included posters and copies of contracts and sundry paperwork, adapted to include a compact disk.
We are especially proud of this package because it represents the craft of a modern release while at the same time preserving the entire contents (including a dozen inserts) and the true essence of the original (and historic) album. This was a limited and numbered release. All told, 20,000 copies were manufactured and sold.
