Violent Femmes (40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition): Vinyl Box Set

Pre-Order Item. Release Date Subject to Change.
Label: Craft Recordings
Release Date: 9th February

Probably, possibly, I dunno, I'm not checking but maybe the first 'indie' records*, whatever that means today? Violent Femmes had that DIY punk, the off-kilter jangle, the perfect pop, the awkward not quite sure of themselves self deprecating humour and charm that inspired a million indie folk. Their self-titled gets the box set treatment with demos, live tracks and all that good rare stuff. 

*probably Velvets and Nico, which this record is a massive chip off but please entertain my sales blurb here.

Expanded 40th anniversary edition of Violent Femmes' self-titled debut featuring the remastered album, plus B-sides, live sessions, and rare demos. Housed in a lift-top box with die-cut darkened window detail revealing the box contents, the set includes three 180-gram LPs plus a replica 7" single, along with a book featuring new liner notes by journalist David Fricke and interviews with the band. Includes the classic anthems “Blister in the Sun,” “Please Do Not Go,” “Gone Daddy Gone,” and “Add It Up.”
