Rare 1997 Japanese limited edition 50-track 5-CD set compiling Art's sessions for Atlas, where because of his existing contract he had to feature as 'sideman' rather than leader.
From the staggering intensity and outright joy of the first disc, you know that this is going to be one hell of a ride.
Complete with 27page Japanese booklet, each CD comes in its own digipack, all housed in an individually numbered box.
