How does Above & Beyond`s Group Therapy - Collector`s Book look like

Quite a few months back I ordered my Group Therapy - Limited Edition Collector`s Book, the breathtaking new album from the UK`s Above & Beyond. The review of the album that I received in an mp3 format you can find here. After waiting a long time, finally the album was printed and shipped, and I want to answer for others a question that was bugging me so long. How does it look like?

Opinion:

Vath`s Cocoon hits the charts with the annual compilation, reaching the letter K, and starting another decade of top-notch techno and tech-house music. Each release is out on a CD or, in extended form, in digital and on an exclusive (and expensive) 6-piece vinyl. So turn your speakers on and listen to the newest of the compilations, with a phenomenal rooster of artists containing names like Nina Kraviz, Dinky, Einzelkind, Butch, Argy, Sascha Dive and Minilogue.

Opinion:

Freude Am Tanzen is a label that keeps its quality standards that high, and because of that it has only 50 releases in 13 years of existence. And quality you should expect in this limited box album, containing 2 vinyl, a 12-track CD including the tracks on the vinyl and 4 bonus ones, a 2-sided poster and some stickers. The motto is "cook your own soup". And before you ask me about that weird slogan, I`ll tell you that it is a German figure of speech, encompassing the fact that you add your own unique flavor to what you are doing.

Opinion:

I ordered a while back the Limited Collector`s Edition of Group Therapy (in the form of a 40-pages hardcover book, containing the CD, a bonus disk with videos and an exclusive half-hour interview, handwritten lyrics, sleeve notes and autographs from the group). You can find it here.Because the dispatch day is in July (for some reason) Anjunabeats was kind enough to send me the mp3 album. I don`t need to listen to an Above & Beyond album to buy it, I love their style and consider them my #1 in trance, along with Paul van Dyk.
