Titolo: releases with three or more CD's?

Dear friends,
How many progressive artists have made releases (like boxes etc) with three or more CD's?
Can you mention the artists, titles and labels?
Thanks in advance!

Don't forget "EP's" by Robert Wyatt. A beautiful box of rare and
remastered recordings from various times throughout Wyatt history.

I think it was released as a 4CD.

there's also going to be released a 3CD set of KYRIE ELEISON material soon
'Weatherbox' by DAVID SYLVIAN (I guess 5 CD's)
didn't KING CRIMSON release a multiple CD-box as well ?
Michael Piper also issued a cloth bag containing four DEVIL DOLL CD's, a
sticker and a booklet personally inscribed by Mr. Doctor limited to 333
copies each of which contained different scribblings from Mr. Doctor
one of the most lavish prog releases on CD has to be the fanclub anniversary
edition of 'Dies irae' which is leather bound with loads of extras yet it
only contains one CD
Belgian band MACHIAVEL released their first five albums in a box for a
limited time only. MSI in France (now bankrupt) bought a lot of the
reamining stock, took the albums out of the box and went on to sell the
first three albums and threw away discs four and five. Hence the rarity to
find a complete box.
I once had a lavish ENO box set but I think it only contained one CD and a
book
A similar boxed issue but only containing one CD was issued by VANGELIS a
while ago. I think only 1000 copies were made and you could only get it in a
museum in Greece or something
'Demonstrations of affection' is a 4CD box by BILL NELSON also containing a
T-shirt !
ISILDUR'S BANE released 'The voyage' in a cardboard suitcase. Sadly it's
only a 2CD set.
XII ALFONSO's prestigious work on the French painter Monnet would have been
a 3CD set but is now being released one by one so a box set doesn't look
like happening.
later this year Musea will be issuing a 3CD set called "Kalevala" which is
based on an important Finish writing. Loads of different artists are
involved yet I'm not sure what the packaging will be like
not by one artists but containing a multitude of prog icons is the 7CD
Progday retrospective. Limited to 1000 numbered copies all is contained in a
great box designed by Michael Bennett

because it's tucked away so neatly I forgot this one by MANFRED MANN's
EARTHBAND. It concerns a wooden box entitled 'Cohesion' and it contains 12
CD's plus a bonus CD with two tracks and an interview. It also contains 6
postcards (the sticker on the box says 3 postcards but I have 6 different
ones)  plus a very informative 40 page booklet. I always wanted to put the
postcards in the bottom of the box but they are a couple of millimeters too
big and I don't want to cut them shorter so I have to stash them away at the
side of the box.
But what is it all in aid of Ulf ?

Emerson, Lake & Palmer - The Return of the Manticore (4 CDs)
Perhaps there are others...

 Can you mention the artists, titles and labels?
I don't think anyone yet has mentioned
Magma - Theusz Hamtaahk Trilogie on Seventh Records. (3CD).
Fredrikkkkk.

Hardly prog but I used to like Clash - Sandinista (3 LPs). Hardly like
it anymore though.

Well!  If we're going to venture into non-prog territory, then I have to
mention:
Steely Dan - Citizen Steely Dan 1972-1980 (4 cds)
Steve Winwood - The Finer Things (4 cds)
  The Winwood set includes music from The Spencer Davis Group, Traffic, and
Blind Faith, as well as his mid-70s collaborations and, of course, his solo
stuff.
