James Taylor / Before This World

By Paul Sinclair

jamestaylor

Before This World is James Taylor‘s first collection of new material in 13 years and will be released in June across a number of formats including a super deluxe edition box set.

It is a ten-track album and a deluxe CD+DVD will add a 30-minute documentary that explores the making of the new album; There We Were: The Making of James Taylor’s Before This World.

The super deluxe book edition is a three disc set with bonus tracks on an extra CD, the aforementioned DVD with the documentary, and a 40-page hardcover book featuring photos, liner notes, and a collector’s envelope with handwritten lyrics and other memorabilia, all housed in a numbered, die cut slip case.

The bonus tracks for the box are to be confirmed at the current time. There will also be a heavyweight LP edition of the standard album pressed on 180g vinyl which comes complete with a download card. The SHM-CD version in Japan will also come with a bonus track (possibly more than one) but nothing has been confirmed. There is a good chance any bonus tracks here are selected from the bonus tracks on the big box.

Before This World is released on 15 June 2015. (LP pre-orders to be added when available)
