Bjork's $800 Special Edition Package



Dang! This is wild.

Bjork fans can pre-order her Biophilia: The Ultimate Art Edition at Nonesuch Records.

This exclusive package will be made to order, with orders collected through Aug. 12. Selling for a scant $800, the set will be one of the most expensive musical packages released this year.

Presented in a lacquered and silkscreened oak hinged-lid case, the set includes Biophilia Manual—two discs of music in a 48-page, full-color, hardbound, cloth-covered, and thread-sewn book. The package also features 10 chrome-plated tuning forks, silkscreened on one face in 10 different colors, stamped at the back, and presented in a flocked tray. Each fork is adjusted to the tone of a Biophilia track, covering a complete octave in a non-conventional scale.

Each case comes with an individual numbered certificate.

It doesn't look like this special edition comes with vinyl. For 800 bucks, it should.

However, vinyl fans can order the regular two-disc vinyl album for $24.
