Now here's a gorgeous collectable for 7-inch, 45 rpm vinyl fans! It's very heartening to see that today, in 2005, a rock group sees fit to prepare and release such a high-quality, beautifully designed 7-inch box set to fans. This set, as the sticker on the outside reads, is "strictly limited to 5,000 units worldwide" and contains "eleven 7" vinyl singles not available separately:"
Side A on each side is a track from the multi-platinum album
Hot Fuss. Side B on each single is a rarity, B-side, or Remix.
Among the 22 songs in the set are all of the group's top 5 songs downloaded from iTunes:
- Mr. Brightside
- Somebody Told Me
- All These Things That I've Done
- Smile Like You Mean It
- Jenny Was A Friend of Mine
Besides the great music, each single is encased in a beautiful hard-cardboard picture sleeve with a unique, tasteful design, and each single has a label that matches the sleeve's artwork. Truly great box set. I've got just a few copies and may not be able to obtain more.
