This is a continuation of the Hidden Herbs Vol. 1-2 bootleg that was uploaded on DatPiff back in 2009. I was hoping to upload it to DatPiff as well, but it looks like there are some technical difficulties with the captcha code that’s preventing me from registering or signing in, so I’ll have to make do with Zippyshare for now. Special Herbs: The Box Set isn't really a box set, at least not in the proper sense. Yes, it does draw from all ten volumes of the Special Herbs series, but it's not a ten-disc set or anything like that. Rather, it's a two-disc mix CD that includes roughly two-minute snippets of 72 different MF Doom productions. Special Herbs, The Box Set, Vol.0-9 is a English album released on Jan 2006. Special Herbs, The Box Set, Vol.0-9 Album has 82 songs sung by Mf Doom. Listen to all songs in high quality & download Special Herbs, The Box Set, Vol.0-9 songs on Gaana.com.

Since 2002, Doom has released numerous volumes of ‘Special Herbs’, one of the longest-running instrumental series in hip hop history. This limited edition vinyl box set compiles the entire 10 volume ‘Special Herbs’ series, much of which has never before been available on wax, all in metallic ilver jackets.

This limited edition box set of Metal Fingers' Special Herbs is made up of 3 CDs. The first two, are mixed extracts from the initial ten volumes of the Special Herbs series.^[1] The third disc is a collection of KMD instrumentals.^[1]

The Box Set was released on January 24, 2006, limited to 7,500 copies. Reissued with some minor artwork changes to the digipak inlay cards and the disc labels in August 2012, and unlike 2006's 3-CD Special Herbs mix, this collection contains all the beats in their full, original form.

Special Herbs, Vol. 1 is the first album in the Special Herbs series of instrumental works released by MF Doom under the Metal Fingers moniker on various independent hip hop labels. Establishing the trend for later albums in the series, each track is named after a herb or similar flora (with the possible ironic exception of mass-produced flavour enhancermonosodium glutamate).

Because the Special Herbs albums were released on various labels, the nine tracks of Vol. 1 appear again as the first nine tracks on the following album, Special Herbs, Vol. 2.
