Description

You are bidding on Minotaur, the Pixies Limited Signed Box Set that collects all of the group's music in multiple formats. None of the lps or discs have been played. The set is new. It is unwrapped. I unwrapped it to take photos and to confirm that the LPs are not the test pressing copies.

I am relisting this for the purpose of allowing INTERNATIONAL SALES. That said, let me be clear up front: This is the DELUXE LIMITED EDITION BOX SET and as such it is weighty. Nearly 30 pounds. And the cost of shipping reflects it. Please don't claim that it can be sent for $25. It can't.

The box set includes:

5-CD + 5-LP + 6-Blu-ray + 6-DVD + 54, 96-page oversized book that includes autographs, posters and many other features.

The definitive Pixies collector's piece, Minotaur is curated by legendary graphic designer Vaughan Oliver with photographer Simon Larbalestier, who together created the album artwork for all five Pixies' studio albums.

Oliver and Larbalestier have teamed up once again on Minotaur, to create their largest single body of Pixies work to date.

Includes all five Pixies' studio albums (Come on Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde) in the following formats:

Five 24k gold plated CD's

Five 12'' - 180 gram virgin vinyl LP's cut from the original analog tapes
6 Blu-ray audio mastered for 5.1 surround sound and 2 channel stereo at 24/192
6 DVD mastered for 5.1 surround sound and 2 channel stereo at 24/96.
Also included is the previously unreleased Pixies 1991 live performance from Brixton, on both Blu-ray and DVD, mastered for 5.1 surround sound at 24/192 and 24/96, respectively.

All discs are housed in a custom designed folio. In addition to reinterpreting all of the original album covers, Oliver's and Larbalestier's extensive work is featured in a 96-page fine art book, measuring 22'' x 14'' inches, and an additional 54-page book, measuring 7.75'' x 8.25''.

Also included is a 12'' x 19.5'' giclee print of the duo's work, and two double-sided fold-out posters measuring 48'' x 36.''

Each copy of the Limited Edition is individually numbered, and hand-signed by every member of the Pixies and Vaughan Oliver.

The collection is housed in oversized suede clamshell case and weighing over 25 pounds!
