This was the soundtrack to the herb fragranced, alternative lifestyle that wound its way around country lanes looking for a place to set up and party, away from the psychoses of corporate life. Fittingly, the band was formed at the Stonehenge Festival in 1983. Ed and Roly Wynne, Nick Van Gelder (Tig) and Gavin Griffiths (at that point known as the Bolshem People) were joined for a jam by Joie 'Ozroonuiculator' Hinton - a synth wizard who had just returned from India loaded with ethnic sound recordings that he had collected. At some point, having attracted an audience, someone asked what the name of the new ensemble was and Ed responded 'Ozric Tentacles' mainly because he couldn't think of anything else. The name stuck and a mainstay of the UK festival scene for the next 30 years was born. Without any desire or need for a record label, it was the Ozric Tentacles' cassette releases that funded and supported their journey through the '80s. These simple artefacts with photo copied inserts and rainbow, spray painted labels were sold in vast quantities at festivals, on the merchandise table at Club Dog and through a mail order outlet called Better Days Tape distribution. So treasured were the bands six cassette albums that in '94, just after the Ozrics hit the big time, the albums were re-mastered and packaged together in a six CD box set called Vitamin Enhanced which was sold in a limited edition of 5000 copies on the band's Dovetail Records label. Legend has it that the box set had been withdrawn due to complaints about the similarity of the packaging design to that found on Kellogg's Cornflakes boxes. Kellogg's were supposedly concerned about consumers confusing their musical tastes with their breakfast cereal requirements, although it remains uncertain if anyone requested a packet of Ozric Tentacles at the local supermarket. 30 years after that initial jam, the band are still going strong, having survived a string of personal tragedies, line-up changes, not to mention the ever changing vagaries of the music industry. Now, to mark this anniversary, Vitamin Enhanced is to be reissued, bringing confusion to breakfast buyers once more. All six of the albums have been carefully re-mastered, ensuring that they have never sounded better. The band are also emabarking on an extensive 30th anniversary tour. ## Images ![Vitamin Enhanced - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/414cLN6oz9L.jpg) ![Vitamin Enhanced - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811jLYDUNsL.jpg) ![Vitamin Enhanced - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SrFxDP38L.jpg) ![Vitamin Enhanced - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-wDBeJMBL.jpg) ![Vitamin Enhanced - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ffjUGgD9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ a whole new sound stage *by I***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2021* So i finally bit the bullet on the latest version of this boxset of the Ozrics first Cassette only releases after hearing Ed had finally got his hands on them and was doing the remaster & after hearing all the remasters he had done on the vinyl releases it was a no brainer really. first the packaging has been given a massive upgrade from the CD size of the 2 previous releases of it, it now come in what i think people call an eco-book, lots of history have been added to the pages inside, vintage images from each release so off to a good start there but when it comes down to it it's all about the music and boy what a revelation these are, suddenly the last sheen has been wiped off of them and the soundstage is now very open, bursting forward and bringing out things i can't say that i have not heard before, let's hope Ed gets around to doing this kind of treatment to rest of the catalogue, is it worth an upgrade, well if you have bought these before absolutely, if you are new to them then this is the issue to get, I can't recommend this enough over the previous issues, then once you have you can lie back and let the Ozrics do what they do the best,take you on a musical journey like no other ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is how every day should start *by T***K on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 July 2015* Although I already had two of these CD's plus the Afterswish collection, I thought that £30 for the six early discs in remastered format was worth a punt. Firstly, the box design is excellent - it's really solid unlike some other sets that have been issued and the artwork is effective and looks great on the CD shelves. Each of the six albums comes in its own gatefold card cover with the CD protected by an insert. While there is nothing fancy about the album covers, they are sort of replicas of the original 1980's cassette tapes (ask your dad if you haven't seen one of those - it's what we used to trade bootlegs on) and you get the track listings plus a few extra bits of info about each track. I had noted that there was some question about the sound quality on the 'Live' album and while it is clearly of its time, it's definitely a good listen and some great playing going on. The other albums sparkle and are really enjoyable, but if you have all of them on CD already, you may decide it's not worth parting with more cash.The colour 60 page booklet is great - clearly printed on good quality paper with a history of the Ozrics during this period 'The Cassette Years' including photo's, copies of concert posters, cassette inserts and other bits. The CD's seem to run to just over an hour so you're getting about 6 hours of music plus the extras for your money.Highly recommended for anyone just catching up with the Ozrics or those who want to enjoy these albums with the best possible sound. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ absolutely stunning *by W***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 August 2021* first off the packaging, this maybe the best remaster boxset package i have ever seen. the idea to put the discs in a book is great. the remastered sound on these discs is unbelievable. i bought these as cassette tapes when the first came out and although there has been re releases since then, this set is by far the best sounding. its like hearing them for the first time again.well done Ed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/53915527-vitamin-enhanced](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/53915527-vitamin-enhanced) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
