Spin CDs just listed this box set (150 sides) plus 80 age color booklet. Any inside info floating around on the sound quality ?

Looks incredible. It feels like it's been years since a good U.S. comp was released.
 
It's on Particles Records (aka Fallout/Radioactive/Past&Present etc.), which probably means sub-quality sound and 97% repeats from old Aussie comps.
 
The first 4 are rehashing comps like Ugly Things, Devils Children etc etc. Then the last two regurgitate proto prog comps like Datura Dreamtime. Boring. Not to mention the putrid promo puffery - BURIED ALIVE!! conjures up a superb collection of rampant amphetamine fury, jammed tight with the most venomous, vile and repulsive 60s delinquency ever put together.
 
The fact that (Australian) Playboys - Sad (5/21) is characterized as some sort of "Dapper Dan acid classic" pretty much seals the deal for me. :flush:

If the booklet were nice I'd consider buying this for about $15.00, post inclusive.

The booklets are often the nicest things to be said of these Particles boxes.
