Cabaret Voltaire / #8385 Collected Works 1983-1985 multi-format box

Cabaret Voltaire will release a very special box set on 4 November via Mute Records.

#8385 Collected Works 1984- 1985 is a weighty six CD, four vinyl and two DVD box set that includes remastered versions of four of Cabaret Voltaire’s mid-period releases on CD and vinyl: The Crackdown (1983), Micro-Phonies (1984), Drinking Gasoline (1985) and The Covenant, The Sword and the Arm of the Lord (1985).

A further CD collects the band’s twelve inch versions from the period, and a final disc of unreleased tracks, called Earthshaker, completes the CD element of the set.

The first of the two DVDs, Cabaret Voltaire Live, collates two live shows, the Bedford Boys Club (18.08.84) and Hammersmith Palais (02.12.84). The second DVD sees the DVD debut of the 1985 experimental video Gasoline In Your Eye and adds the four promotional videos from the time.

#8385 Collected Works 1983-1985 will be a limited numbered edition, with only 500 copies being made. These will include a 40-page booklet with photographs, notes and essays. All audio is remastered from the original tapes.
