Ace triple CD anthology of the Harvest label - discovered a lot of great artists through this. Only let down by some twee, prissy folky crap from the likes of the Collins sisters, but otherwise pretty consistent over its 220 minutes and 52 tracks:

Ministry ~ Psalm 69

Never one of my favourites of theirs but I wanted to have another listen to it.
