Thanks. This actually is interesting on many levels and I am currently putting together a news item about this, which highlights the most interesting bits. Lookinmg forward to this release!

Excited to see this latest addition to the series of Ant Phillips box sets, especially with even more previously unreleased early 70s recordings. The inclusion of Pennsylvania Flickhouse is interesting as well. Do we know if this the same version that was released about 10 years ago now for the Genesis fan club anniversary, or some recently re-discovered demo version?
It's the same version that was previously released in 2011
I've got most of Ant's output but not the two Archive volumes, oddly enough, so here's a great opportunity handed to me on a silver platter to rectify that early in the new year.
Very nice.
This is wonderful news. After each AP re-release I convince myself that the archive must now be exhausted, but somehow Ant and Jonathan consistently manage to find more gems down the back of the sofa. Keep 'em coming! 
I have put together some info in our news section

There are two or three questions included, perhaps you can bring some light in the dark here?
Thx
As much as I would love to get to hear the additional tracks on this edition, I am not going to re-buy the same CDs I already own. I have both Archive outputs and I love them but I am not going to buy them again just to get even more tracks. Just like I am not inclined to buy all the PP&P albums again I already own just for the sake of even more tracks, even though I'm sure they will be worth purchasing.
I only have the first Archive albu, so this set might be a good addition to my collection. Not a die hard Ant fan, but there's some interesting stuff on this one!
Personally, I am really looking forward to hearing the Masquerade stuff! Great to see such detailed re-issues from Ant.
While Mainland Europe is waiting for this release (has been pushed back to 11th Feb in Germany), we have, nevertheless, been working on an advanced review (thanks to a preview copy) for a couple of weeks. It's now available here:

Never mind the re-mastered Vols I and II which still showcase Ants' immense talents, the previously unreleased Masquerade material is simply fantastic.
The song 'Moon's Lament For The Sun' is worth the entry price alone!
I can't recommend this box set highly enough.

The track was also recorded by The Ant Band for the Anthony Phillips 70th Birthday CD "A Light On The Hill"
