音楽 : Current 93 box sets from Vinyl on Demand









Regarding the extraordinarily beautiful box sets from VoD, Frank Maier has asked me to state this:

“All orders of the new Current 93 release on VOD Records have now been shipped to the customers. Both Current 93 wooden boxes (VOD 74 and VOD 75) as well as the deluxe fine linen folder are now sold out at VOD Records. You have to contact a VOD distributor directly to see if they have any copies left. All the offered standalone records from the VOD box sets VOD 74 and VOD 75 are still available from the VOD shop but we are also running low on quantity very quickly. For more information visit their website, English language here and German language here. The shop for both languages is here and takes you straight to the page which shows what is sold out and what remains of the various editions.”

VOD74: CURRENT 93 4LP Unreleased Rarities, Out-takes, Rehearsals and Live 82-95 lmtd.600 88,88 €

VOLUME 1: Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol, of David Tibet's Current 93 project includes 2 LP’s with unreleased rarities, out-takes, rehearsals and demos dating from 1983-1995 as well as another 2 LPs with 4 performances from Amsterdam (1984), Hamburg (1985) and Tokyo (1988). Also contained is a beautiful silkscreened poster made out of hand-made paper produced in Nepal. The box will also contain a metal badge and will be accompanied by a 28-page booklet, with embossed cover, full of very personal photos personally selected by David Tibet from his archives. The booklet itself manifests a journey back in time to the first 15 years of Current 93’s existence. Members will recieve an additional Bonus 7“ with two songs from the 1988 Reykjavîk performance and the complete London concert at the 100 Club from 1985.

VOD75: CURRENT 93 4LP wooden Box incl. "CHRIST & THE PALE QUEENS, MIGHTY IN SORROW /THE RED FACE OF GOD, EMBLEMS, AS THE WORLD DISAPPEARS" lmtd.600 88,88 €

VOLUME 2: Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol different to that on Volume 1, of David Tibet's Current 93 project will contain "Christ and the Pale Queens" plus "The Red Face of God" as a Double LP; "As the World Disappears", released for the first time ever on vinyl, and finally an official release of the legendary "Emblems" LP, which has until now only existed as a test-pressing. "Emblems" was originally going to be a single LP of material that was only released on the now-deleted 2CD "Emblems", but it never progressed beyond a very limited run of white vinyl test-pressings, which are now ferociously rare and expensive. The box will also contain a metal badge (a different badge to that in VOD74) and will be accompanied by a beautiful booklet, with embossed cover, with very personal photos selected by David Tibet from his archives; this booklet is totally different to the one in VOD 74. Members will also receive in addition a long-sleeve Current 93-T-Shirt.

At David Tibet's express request, the covers for all the LPs have been supplied by the wonderful German, Berlin-based, artist Uwe Henneken, who has used C93 album, and song, titles for many of his extraordinary creations.
