A new dawn broke in England in 1966-67 and it was a prog-rock dawn. During the late 1960s, Spooky Tooth was one of a contingent of new British rock bands inspired by the first British Rock Invasion of acts like The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds and The Animals. Spooky Tooth took Europe and America by storm; alongside their Island Records label mates Traffic, Free and Jethtro Tull. From 1967 through 1974, they released seven Billboard-charting albums. After the band's demise, all of the members went on to careers as solo artists or members of other successful bands. Part of the Spooky Tooth legacy is that they were always great at covering songs by then-unknown writers and at recording songs by established writers and making them their own in the inimitable Spooky Tooth style.

This magnificent box set collects all the recordings by the seminal British Rock band Spooky Tooth, perhaps the most underrated of all British bands active at the late 1960s / early 1970s. It includes all seven albums recorded by the various Spooky Tooth lineups for Island records, before they disbanded, as well as the only album by the band Art, which was in fact an early version of Spooky Tooth and finally a previously unreleased live album by the band. The double lead vocals / double keyboards effect created a potent and incredibly spacious sound, which was completely unique among the bands active at a time, and combined with truly outstanding songwriting abilities by the band members simply placed them way at the top of the British scene as far as ambitious and original Rock is concerned. The fact that the group recorded such daring projects and many of their other qualities firmly places Spooky Tooth as proto-Prog pioneers and to say the truth they had more Progressive tendencies than most other Prog groups at the time, although they were never credited and recognized as part of the Prog movement. This beautifully researched and lavishly packaged box set is a long overdue tribute to one of the best British Rock bands, including a plethora of bonus tracks, a well written book. Can't imagine a serious music collection without this box being a part of it. Truly essential piece of music history!
