Codeine Box Set Coming

Numero Group is taking pre-orders for a Codeine box set.

All three of the band's albums will be featured with detailed liner notes, including essays by Sub Pop’s Jonathan Poneman, Love Child’s Alan Licht, and the Flaming Lips’ Wayne Coyne and Steven Drozd.

"The albums have been faithfully restored from the original masters, and are accompanied by a plethora of singles, demos, live recordings, and Peel sessions," says Numero. "Each album will be packaged as a double album with a CD of the same material. Additionally, an ultra deluxe box set of all three albums is available in a limited edition of 1000 copies. The box set features no additional tracks, but does come with a 5-by-1 foldout poster of the band’s complete discography and a tidy box that holds all three albums National Geographic-style."

The first 500 copies pre-ordered of When I See The Sun will also receive a bonus 7″, featuring two songs recorded live at TT the Bear’s Place in Boston by Bob Weston.

The price is $80. There's also a $100 set that comes with a T-shirt. Look for the package to come out around the end of May.
