Best known for their 1970 top three US hit Give Me Just A Little More Time (covered in the early nineties by Kylie Minogue) the band released four studio albums for Invictus in the first half of the 1970s.

This new box, The Complete Invictus Studio Recordings 1969-1978, goes beyond the group efforts and includes the Invictus solo albums released by individual members General Johnson, Danny Woods and Harrison Kennedy. To top it all off, this comes with two bonus discs include alternate versions, non-album singles and selected mixes, including two Tom Moulton remixes.

All in all, you get nine CDs and 97 tracks. The discs are accompanied by 36-page booklet with extensive liner notes.
