Box Notes Spooky Tooth aus Großbritannien spielten eine Art Blues-Rock mit zahlreichen Stilelementen aus Country, Pop und psychedelischen Einflüssen. Der Sound wurde vor allem bestimmt durch die effektvollen Vokalharmonien der beiden Sänger und den kraftvollen Einsatz der elektronischen Orgel sowie durch raffiniert eingesetzte (Hall)-Effekte. Viele Spooky Tooth-Songs sind auch deutlich von Gospel beeinflusst. Besonders die ausdrucksstarke Stimme Mike Harrisons entwickelte sich zu einem Markenzeichen der Band.

Die 8 LP-VInylbox enthält exakte Neuauflagen der acht Spooky Tooth / ART-Alben in Nachbildung der Originalverpackung, einen Nachdruck des extrem seltenen »ART«-Promoposters (gestaltet von den bekannten psychedelischen Künstlern Hapshash und The Coloured Coat), sowie einen Downloadcode für alle Tracks, auch der Bonus- und Live-Tracks aus der CD-Box.
