CURRENT 93
UNIQUE Vinyl on Demand 8LP+7inch Test-Pressing Box Set

    This is a test-pressing of the German Vinyl on Demand Current 93 box-set. This contains all 8 white-label 12" black vinyl test-pressings, and the white-label 7" black vinyl test-pressing that was available to subscribers to VoD only. The records are housed in 2 black wooden silk-screened boxes which themselves come in a beautiful fine-linen silk-lined box with a Coptic text design by David on it. Each label has the titles hand-written by David. It contains all the original items from the original item, which sold-out on pre-order. So, this is identical to the subscribers' edition of the box-set except that the records are white-label test-pressings with hand-written labels. A list of what is in the 2 box-sets follows

1: CURRENT 93 4LP Unreleased Rarities, Out-takes, Rehearsals and Live 82–95 (VOD74)
    Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol, of David Tibet’s Current 93 project includes two LPs with unreleased rarities, out-takes, rehearsals and demos dating from 1983–1995 as well as another 2 LPs with four performances from Amsterdam (1984), Hamburg (1985) and Tokyo (1988) and an additional bonus 7“ with two songs from the 1988 Reykjavík performance and the complete London concert at the 100 Club from 1985. Also contained is a beautiful silkscreened poster made out of hand-made paper produced in Nepal.
The box also contains a metal C93 badge and 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.

2: CURRENT 93 4LP set including Christ and the Pale Queens Mighty in Sorrow, The Red Face of God, Emblems and As the World Disappears (VOD75)
    Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol different to that on Volume 1, of David Tibet's Current 93 project contains ‘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 also includes a metal C93 badge (a different badge to that in VOD74) and is 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 VOD74. 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 were supplied by the wonderful German, Berlin-based, artist Uwe Henneken, who has used C93 album, and song, titles for many of his extraordinary creations.

This item come from David Tibet's extensive archive and will be sent by him from Hastings, UK.
