I'm pretty sure this release would be existing recordings.  The Cherry Red labels do beautiful box sets (I generally consider them definitive) and price them very kindly.  I'll be picking this one up along with the dozens (hundreds?) of other releases I have by that family of labels.

I actually preordered this out of nostalgia. Only a handful of the tunes (including, surprisingly, Amalgam's Prayer for Peace) are on recordings I currently own. It does promise to be a nice package.

I strongly suspect studio music "from the era," as felser suggested above.

I originally hoped for live recordings from Middle Earth, but consider that highly unlikely.

With 21, 20 and 23 tracks on CDs 1-3 respectively I'm starting to have doubts that the cuts are complete tracks (which would seriously piss me off, having preordered 😟). The recording of Amalgam's "Prayer for Peace" is 7:33, for instance.

Received this a few days ago.

Very nice package, though the booklet has tiny print and the text is difficult to read. Enjoying it a lot.

The tracks are all complete AFAICT, and the sound quality is better than expected, indicating that remastering must have occurred on some level.

The Cherry Red labels do great mastering.

Huge fan of Cherry Red’s work in all genres and have just started digging into their new British Jazz 1966-72 set. Thanks for the heads-up on this release.

I'm also currently listening to that set, finishing up disc 2.
