Lullabies to Violaine Limited Edition Box Set Available Now
21 November 05
COCTEAU TWINS – Lullabies To Violaine
singles and extended plays 1982 – 1996
For the first time all the non-album tracks from across the Cocteau Twins’ entire career have been compiled together and offer a unique view of their musical journey from the perspective of all their single / EP releases which incorporate most of their best known tracks.
CTBOX 2
This is an unusual de-luxe package containing all 4 CD’s that will be available 21 November (Europe) and 6 December (USA) in a worldwide limited edition of 15,000. The discs are contained in a fold-out package made of a material that itself sounds like a Cocteau Twins title – ‘Curious Soft Touch Milk’. It’s all very tactile, minimal and V23.
DAD 2513CD and DAD 2514CD
These are the regular versions of the set which will be available spring 2006. Each package is a digipak with 2 CD’s. Volume One covers the 4AD era (1982 – 1990) and Volume Two the Mercury / Capitol years (1993 – 1996).
The 4AD material was previously available in a 10 x CD box set which had a CD for each single, though this set features alternative mixes of ‘Pearly-Dewdrops’ Drops’ and ‘Aikea-Guinea’. Volume Two has never been anthologised and has tracks that were limited as singles as well as the Christmas tracks ‘Frosty The Snowman’ and ‘Winter Wonderland’.
