Album notes

Discogs page for these notes (opens in a new tab)

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.

Limited edition deluxe box set compiling remastered and repressed versions of the first three Go-Betweens LPs; a fourth LP compiling the band's first five non-LP singles; and four CDs of rarities, outtakes, and live performances from 1978–1984. The box set also contains a large-format 112-page book of liner notes, historical reminiscences by member Robert Forster, and archival photos, a silkscreen reproduction of the promo poster for the ‘Lee Remick’ single, and a reproduction of the band's first press-release. Boxed in heavy weight card in cloth wrap with marbled liner papers. Also includes a card with a unique download code for the entire box (first pressing), or a 16-track sampler, (second pressing, due to the label losing most of the digital rights), in both MP3 & WAV formats.
