With copies of WOODSTOCK EXPERIENCE starting to arrive from our binders in Milan and the anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock festival just nine days away, we thought we'd bring you a round-up of the reviews this incredible boxed set has already received.

"Eye-boggling photos courtesy of Genesis Publications' latest coffee-table-smasher." MOJO

"Hippie or not, this limited edition boxed set is not only a great collectors item but a window to a time when a 3-day event could forever change the music, minds, and imaginations of a generation." LimitedHype

"It not only recounts the story from original interviews with the musicians who played and the people who organized and attended, but also explores Woodstock from cultural, social, political and environmental standpoints." Harmony Central

"Woodstock Experience provides a visual trip through these legendary days in a field in upstate New York." Yahoo News

"It's a revelation even for those who think they know the subject inside and out." The Signal

"In a stellar mix of original interviews and images of over 65 artists and luminaries, performers such as Crosby, Stills and Nash, Carlos Santana and Ravi Shankar and the festival's organiser Michael Lang, Woodstock Experience documents the personal experiences of some of the most important artists, thinkers, writers, designers and photographers from around the world."
