Pros and cons on Weatherbox: 1.- Superb, incredibly detailed artwork. 2.- 1 Track from the original Alchemy is MISSING: the Preparations for a journey. There are 2 new tracks from the B-side of Pop song maxi single but these 2 tracks are not quite match here. So if you want the complete Alchemy, you have to buy the original CD-release. AVOID the remaster-series while they are awful in soundquality: boosted, overcompressed and lack of the original transient details. Shit.2.- Brilliant trees pressing is even more precise here compared to the original UK-virgin CD release. I think this Weatherbox-release is the best man can have qualitywise. BUUUT:3.- Soundquality of Secrets of the beehive is VERY bad here in the Weatherbox. Very different "mastering". Like a cheap cassette-recording. The original '87 UK Virgin CD-release is brilliant, a very natural, superpresice high-end studio recording lacking of any boosts, excesses. I don't understand how can a soundengineer and the other personnel do such VERY bad work? It's the same to the Approaching silence. The EU version is shit and mastered from a very bad tape, the Shakti-release is bright and precise. No tape used. Everyone is stupid... You better off with purchasing this CD also separately. It worths every penny, while I consider it one of the best albums ever.

Yes, all is true. The Secret of the beehive here is not satisfactory compared to the original release. The artwork is the best in the world. This box is a must have anyway!

Please compare it to the "original" Virgin UK CD release! The difference is obvious. The "original" is superb and the Weatherbox release is horrible (compared to it). I can only underline of ttooyyss -'s opinion. A fan has to buy it also, due to the soundquality.

I agree with the first points, but I have to strongly disagree with the last. At least on my copy, »Secrets of the Beehive« sounds really good. Nothing like a »cheap cassette recording.«
