This is a six record boxed set including re-releases of Alien Soundtracks, Half Machine Lip Moves, Blood on the Moon, and three new records, No Humans Allowed,  The Chronicles I and The Chronicles II.

Box set includes 6 LPs in plain white paper sleeves and a one-sided monochrome insert with credits and discography.  There should also be a sheet with Subterranean's mail-order catalog on it for completeness.

Fabienne for backing vocals on Wings and lead vocals at end of Ghenna.

Alien Soundtrack Notes: On this pressing spelling is different for Pygmies in Zee Dark, but they spelled ST37 as "ST S7".   Helios is credited as co-producer..

Half Machine notes: On this pressing Abstract Nympho is spelled correctly  and Helios is credited as co-producer.

Cleopatra's re-release is substantially different than the original Box.  Some of the tracks are missing from the original albums and other material is added.  One of these days I'll note the differences...
