The set is complete with a reproduction press photo, a psychedelic fold out reproduction concert poster for a 1966 show at the Vancouver club by artist Bob Masse printed on high quality paper stock - the folio also includes an 'underground newspaper' that serves as the album's liner notes - written by producer Andrew Sandoval, they recount Northcott's years with Warner Bros. and provide a helpful track-by-track introduction to the artist's music.

There are four versions of the cover art, each with a different colour variations, shipped out at random - this is the gold and metallic purple version.

'Just who is Tom Northcott? Rhino Handmade unravels the mystery with an exquisitely packaged collection that sheds light on this unheralded singer-songwriter, whose distinctive voice and wonderful artistry remain among the best-kept secrets of the 1960s.
Between 1966-69, Northcott recorded a catalog of ornate psychedelic-folk for Warner Bros. Records with producers Lenny Waronker and Leon Russell. Among those were two almost-hit singles, including his versions of Donovan's 'Sunny Goodge Street' and Harry Nilsson's '1941.' In 1970, Warner Bros. collected 10 of those recordings on The Best of Tom Northcott, an album released exclusively in the singer's native Canada that has remained a stateside rarity until now.'
