Pno, Gtr, Vox, Box (Box)  (Music)

Limited deluxe seven CD box set from the British Progressive Rock singer/songwriter and leader of Van Der Graaf Generator. Pno, Gtr, Vox, Box greatly expands on the original double CD release Pno Gtr Vox,, both CDs of which are included. Five additional discs make up the set. Two complete the "Tokyo themes": one a set of VdGG songs, the other a set imagining "What if I knew this was the last show I'd ever do?". Other sets are "Songs I Didn't Play In Japan", "Songs I Dropped From The Set Lists" and "The Best Alternate Versions". Each CD comes in a glossy wallet featuring photographs from Peter's personal collection of dressing room and way-to-the-stage shots and the box is completed with a 24 page booklet. This is a classy piece of work and serves not only as a testament to Peter's current performances but also, by the nature of the fact that songs are taken from all stages of his career, as a significant retrospective collection.
