The LP is pressed on THICK non flexible vinyl and comes protected in factory inner sleeves.

The most famous (and best) set of all time! 1961-1966. The front cover says: "The only definitive collection! 10 record set over 8 hours of music. 134 previously Unreleased tracks" This set has yet to be bettered  in sound quality, even by some of the CDs that contain the same material. The cover on this great 1985 box set is simple but effective. A grainy looking black and white shot of Bob with all of the songs listed on the front. Each of the 10 LPs have deluxe full printed labels.

The Label is Tarantula. The folks behind the Label were the best in the business. They released only the highest quality pieces in fantastic major label quality covers.  One trick to spotting their work is by the name of the Label. The name of the Label was different for each artist they released, and had some tie-in with the artist that usually only a hard-core fan would recognize (i.e. Tarantula) 

All albums are pressed on high quality vinyl, and have full printed labels.  All recordings are the best that were known to exist. 

Released in the summer of 1985, shortly before the release of Biograph later that autumn, several rock journalists declared Ten of Swords to be the more important release.

There is virtually nothing on the Biograph set that's on Ten of Swords,  and in the few cases where it is, Columbia edited their tapes ... they edited it unnecessarily for that album, so the real company botched it up ...
