499

Dukes Of Stratosphear "The Complete And Utter Dukes (XTC)" is a limited edition CD + LP box set.  Only 1,000 copies were made worldwide!

The Dukes Of Stratosphear was almost the world's worst kept secret. Everyone knew it was the alter ego for XTC, but that did not seem to matter. This limited edition box set contains the following: both "25 O'Clock" and "Psonic Psunspot" remastered from original analog tapes and released on 180g heavyweight vinyl pressings repackaged with new gatefold sleeve and inner bag artwork, both Dukes albums in remastered compact disc editions in hardback book format with demos and new recordings - a total of 15 extra tracks plus 2 promo videos, each CD contains lyrics and specially written sleeve notes by Sir John Johns, Lord Cornelius Plum and The Red Curtain (aka Andy Partridge, Dave Gregory and Colin Moulding), a 500 piece Dukes jigsaw, a 7" single, 5-One Pound Play notes (redeemable for a Dukes T-Shirt), all in a lavish purple fabric covered 12x12 box with O-card. ?

CONDITION: This box set is pre-owned and in near mint condition with one exception - the outer velvet box has a tiny 3/4-inch ding on the edge of the bottom right hand corner (see the pictures), but it is hardly noticable since it is small (less than an inch) and located right on the bottom edge. Otherwise, this box set, including all of the contents, is in near mint condition.  In fact, the "25 O'Clock" vinyl LP is still sealed never opened.  The puzzle included in the box is also still sealed never opened.

MORE DETAILS ABOUT THE BOX SET:

The Dukes of Stratosphear — the classic psychedelic-pop side project from XTC’s Andy Partridge, Colin Moulding and Dave Gregory — has repackaged its discography in a limited-edition box set called "The Complete and Utter Dukes".

Enclosed in a purple velvet-lined box, the set — from Partridge’s Ape House Records catalog number APEBOX002 — features the following contents:

1. 1985 EP "25 O’Clock" on 180-gram remastered vinyl in gatefold sleeve,

2. 1987 album Psonic Psunspot on 180-gram remastered vinyl in gatefold sleeve,

3. "25 O'Clock" CD in a hardcover CD-sized booklet with demos, extra recordings, and CD-ROM video,

5. 7-inch single of “Tin Toy Clockwork Train”/”The Affiliated",

6. 500-piece psyche jigsaw (puzzle) of tantalizing difficulty,

7. A stack of “Dukes Dollars,” one of which can be exchanged via mail for a free Dukes of Stratosphear T-shirt (no guarantees that the record company is still honoring the t-shirt vouchers, since this box set was originally released nearly 10 years ago).
