With a career spanning over 20 years and a band that sounds as fresh as ever, this box tells the Green Day story from their first two independent albums - 1990's 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours and Kerplunk two years later, to being catapulted out of the East Bay's underground punk scene with 1994's 15 million-selling, Grammy-winning Dookie. Officially one of the world's biggest bands, more international chart success followed with subsequent albums Insomniac, Nimrod and Warning. 2004 saw the band unleash the game-changing American Idiot, picking up seven Grammy nominations in the process. Five years later came 21st Century Breakdown, hitting the #1 spot in over 15 countries around the world.

Anders F Rönnblom summerar karriären från debutalbumet "Din barndom skall aldrig dö (1971) till i dag med en samlingsbox med låtar från samtliga 24 album under fem decennium. Inkluderar allt från hits som "Det är inte snön som faller", "Europa brinner" och "Jag kysste henne våldsamt" till mer experimentiella låtar och samarbeten. Informativa liner notes av Christer Herentz och samtliga 66 låtar är remastrade för denna samling.

ECM is particularly pleased to present this two-disc set by one of the most outstanding groups of its era, the group often referred to as 'Belonging' or Keith Jarrett's 'European Quartet', heard here in a previously unreleased concert recording from 1979. After more than three decades in the archive, this "sleeper" now awakes, sounding thoroughly alive and of the moment. <br/><br/>"Sleeper" is a significant addition to the group's small discography, until now comprised of the albums "Belonging" (1974), "My Song" (recorded 1977, released 1978), "Nude Ants" (recorded 1979), and "Personal Mountains" (1979, released 1989). The pieces performed by the quartet on April 16, 1979, at Tokyo's Nakano Sun Plaza were Jarrett compositions - "Personal Mountains", "Innocence", "So Tender", "Oasis", "Chant of the Soil", "Prism" and "New Dance" - all written for this ensemble (in later years, "Prism" and "So Tender" would be reinterpreted by the "Standards" trio), all delivered with enormous verve. This was a group that could play very freely, and joyously, inside the melodic and rhythmic structures set up or implied by Keith Jarrett's writing, with an extraordinary and unforced sense of flow. As Jarrett said at the time: "I myself, as a so-called leader, wish very, very often to blend with the other three musicians and that situation [the Belonging band] allows that, because no one is fighting with anyone else. Everyone is just trying to make the thing transparent and clear and feeling good."
