I love the look of my TQ Set!!! Agreed.

edit: But looking at this supposed “box set”, I am not happy at all. Cheap, nickel and dime, fake advertising. They screwed me on the ctte50 program, and had to wait months to rectify their incompetent shipping, and now this. As disappointing as the record itself!!! 😡👎👎👎

assumed it was actually a box set as noted on the yes site itself in the format section. Come on man…didn’t read the fine print, can’t assume anything, oh well.


at least it will be nice to look at - thank you Roger Dean at least.

I took a few deep breaths and now I’m over my annoyance at the “box set” not being a real box set. I wish the art book came out of the rest of the packaging, but it is what it is.

Gotcha. Understood. I hear ya.

But it’s damn ridiculous not to have the 2cd set removable, in a slipcase, for an easy grab, and display, and the book separate. Do I want to drag out and expose the Vinyl every damn time I want to look at the book. So no “album cover” then right! I’m really getting more and more p’oed. 😆. The more I think about it.

I’m guessing this was the only way to get the blue-ray, to get the deluxe/art book , at least I hope, I can’t remember. Or my head will really explode. 🤣🤣

I remember being irritated that the only way to get the blu ray was alongside the art book which I couldn't afford. And it bugs me that when I want to play The Quest I have to dig it out underneath all the paraphernalia that came with. I'm glad I have it but it's literally a physical barrier to playing the discs more often.

Some preliminary sketches by Roger.

Top left sketch. Was thinkin' of havin' an island on the horizon. And a blinkin' wolf watchin' on. Glad he didn't get too busy with it. From MttS art book.

I’ll just wait and grab some good CD/Digipack scans when they start to appear, print em out, grab and old 4cd/3CD chubby case off the shelf of supplies and make my own 😁. Same as I do for all my boot shows. Should look good then on the cd shelf then, w/ easy access, and I’ll have the book and vinyl separate and protected in their rightful place next to all other great Roger Dean art/lps.

Spoken like a seasoned collector it sounds like. This would also make some of my digital downloads burnt on CDs fit with my collection as well.

Fun Hobby!! Listening and comparing live shows. I love it. Picking and choosing which ones make it to hard copy/actual cases, etc. Helped pass the time during Covid that’s for sure!!! I burnt a lot during Covid, printed tons of artwork from Remy and FY (way more than necessary! 🤣), and a lot made it to jewel cases. I stopped when I ran out of room 😁.

Hope they don’t make the logo huge, like, well really since FFH.
Unless it’s flipping fantastic…

I really like the FFH and TQ boxes, with large logo on the black box. Pulled em both out this morn actually, and looked at all the goodies. Gonna throw FFH on ……

Wonder if Peter Cologne saw this???

It is high quality, well put together, and very nice (no matter how inconvenient it may be 🤣)!! I made my own case for the discs.

Kudos to Burning Shed on their delivery - super safe packaging (not like the bozos company who packed my CTTE programs. 🤣🤣). Edit: Manhead were the bozo’s.

No. In Germany. Saw it on a FB page.

Remember before the Full Circle Tour in 2003 we had those big yellow bill posters all up around the city. Was great fun to spot them as we drove around 😍

SNOWFLOWER ELDER CLOTHIN'?





Good closeup of original paintin' from last night's Tradin' Boundaries. Can clearly see the hairy animal coat, cap and boots that Snowflower Elder is wearin'.

Now is it bear fur, bison fur, woolly mammoth fur????
