The group's two '60s albums (
Silver Apples and
Contact) were previously combined as a two-fer a few years before this identical release, but as this is on a major label, it will find wider distribution. It also benefits from the addition of newly penned historical liner notes from
Simeon and vintage photos of the band, along with a diagram of the Simeon (the instrument) and
Danny Taylor's drum setup.
