VARIOUS ARTISTS Woodstock 40 (Sealed 2009 UK 95-track 6-CD album set - To celebrate the 40th Anniversary of this legendary festival, this 6-disc set features the most comprehensive collection available of artists that performed at the festival. To assemble the most comprehensive document of the myth-steeped weekend, the boxed set's co-producer Andy Zax pored over every inch of multitrack tape in search of the strongest parts of each of the 33 sets. In addition to the music, the setoffers considerable amount of ancillary material sprinkled throughout the discs—stage announcements, lysergic babble, the sounds of rain, a cameo appearance by Abbie Hoffman, and the graciousness of Max Yasgur's address to the crowd, heard for the first time in its entirety. Another significant byproduct of 'Woodstock 40' is that, by virtue of its size and rigorously chronological sequence, it gets closer to a sense of the performances as they occurred in real time than any previous compilation. For the first time, the complete and accurate set lists will be available in the boxed set's booklet. Some Woodstock aficionados will be taken aback by the actual order of the performances; it differs from both various written accounts and from Michael Wadleigh's film Woodstock, which takes certain liberties with chronology in order to maintain its narrative flow. Presented in a deluxe 11" x 7 & 1/2" hard back book-style pack complete with an 80-page book containing extensive liner notes, photos and the complete & accurate set lists! All still sealed from new).
