    This Just In: Box Sets & Big Bands

    posted by Emile

    This week we’ve got good things in small packages and bands that make big sounds. Also, a long list of new additions, new editions and restocks of essentials.

    Velvet Underground – Singles 1966-69 7×7” Box Set:
    “Features exact reproductions of Velvet Underground singles, two of them with their original picture sleeves. The singles are packaged in a distinctively designed box, along with rare vintage photos and new liner notes by Rolling Stone‘s David Fricke. The seven singles included in The Velvet Underground Singles 1966–69 comprise the four Velvets singles originally released in the U.S. on the Verve and MGM labels, plus an additional pair of singles that were prepared for release but never made it to the marketplace and a special radio-only promotional single. The singles feature alternate mono versions that differ in significant ways from the songs’ better-known stereo album versions. For instance, the band’s 1966 debut single ‘All Tomorrow’s Parties’ appears here in a special mono edit that amplifies the song’s melodic beauty and sonic tension, and a mono mix of their sophomore single “Sunday Morning” emphasizes the song’s haunting quality. Meanwhile, the mono single version of ‘White Light/White Heat’ exemplifies the vintage Velvets’ stark, distortion-laden fury, while a mono edit of ‘What Goes On’ accentuates that song’s inherent pop jangle. By presenting the Velvets as a singles band, The Velvet Underground Singles 1966–69 shows, in David Fricke’s words, ‘rock history the way it should have been: the Velvet Underground as the New York Beatles, guaranteed to blow up your radio and your mind.’” -Sundazed

    Gorillaz – Singles Collection 2001-2011 8×7” Box Set:
    10 years of Gorillaz singles in a limited edition 8×7″ box set with a double-sided fold out poster. All the 7”s are individually packed in picture cardboard sleeves with artwork from the original single release on each of the sides. Also includes non-album tracks + 2 remixes. Wait for it… A1. Clint Eastwood A2. Clint Eastwood (Ed Case & Sweetie Irie Refix); B1. 19-2000 B2. 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix); C1. Tomorrow Comes Today C2. Rock The House; D1. Feel Good Inc D2. DARE; E1. Dirty Harry E2. Kids With Guns; F1. El Manana F2. Stylo; G1. Superfast Jellyfish G2. On Melancholy Hill; H1. Rhinestone Eyes H2. Doncamatic.


    Ancient Heat – Oh… You Bad 12″:
    First vinyl release from Portland, OR future-disco 9-piece Ancient Heat. Their mission: keep it nasty, keep it deep and always satisfy. Whet your appetite (and dance party) with synths, horns, skip-beats and sexy vocals on this limited-edition, hand-screened EP. Side A : Oh…You Bad//Oh…You Bad (Hydroplane Remix), Side AA : Slap & Gallop//Oh…You Bad (Daddy Warbuxxx Crunkpocalypse Remix).
