NewsA Certain Ratio / ACR:BOX
Rarities box • 7LP coloured vinyl or 4CD • Many unreleased tracks
This May, A Certain Ratio will issue ACR:BOX, a new 7LP or 4CD collection that features A-sides, B-sides, alternate versions and unreleased material.
The box complements last year’s acr:set with a selection of hidden gems (12-inch versions, B-sides, edits etc.) and unreleased material. The latter includes W.S.L.U (which you can preview below) and the band’s cover version of Talking Heads‘ ‘Houses In Motion’, using Jez Kerr’s guide vocals (prior to him becoming the band’s singer). This was from a session with Grace Jones that never reached fruition.
ACR: BOX is available as a 7LP coloured vinyl set (and as a 4CD box)
Twenty-six tracks are unreleased and both vinyl and CD box sets contain all 54 tracks in this collection. The 7LP vinyl box is presented as a beautiful looking coloured vinyl package and comes with a download code.
ACR: BOX is out on 3 May 2019, via Mute.
