The Shadowfax LP has been opened and may have been played once. The disc appeared to be in NM condition.  The other four LPs are still factory sealed.

During the 1980s, Windham Hill Records was an independent label started by Will Ackerman and Anne Robinson. Windham Hill emerged from a start-up indie label to a genre-defining label emulated by other independent labels and major music corporations. The Windham Hill vinyl releases were meticulously packaged; from the brilliant photographs, to the always sufficient but never intrusive liner-notes. Everything Will and Anne produced represented the highest quality in recording.

Windham Hill and A&M Records signed a joint-marketing and distribution arrangement in 1984 that saw the label's phenomenal growth vault from hand packaging albums in Will and Anne's living room to the inevitable evolution of the label into a multi-million dollar venture.

During the first year of the A&M/Windham Hill relationship, A&M Records proposed to legendary retailer Neiman-Marcus that Windham Hill music could be one of the special, exclusive items offered in the annual Neiman-Marcus Christmas Catalogue. Neiman-Marcus agreed and a special box set was created exclusively for the retailer for Christmas 1984. Titled simply "The Windham Hill Collection 1984" a limited number of the box sets were created. The white box had a shiny gold foil seal and gold lettering that featured the Windham Hill and Neiman Marcus names/logos. The box set originally retailed in the 1984 Christmas Catalog for $50.
