Keith Richard’s1992 album Main Offender is being reissued in March across four physical formats, including a five-disc super deluxe box set.
All formats feature a remastered edition of the album (overseen by the original producer Steve Jordan) while the 2CD deluxe edition and the five disc (3LP+2CD) deluxebox set offer a bonus album Winos Live in London ’92.
The box set contains the album pressed on ‘smoke-coloured’ vinyl and the Winos Live in London ’92 album pressed on 2LP (also on smoke-coloured vinyl). That content is then repeated in the box on two CDs, giving the five discs in total. On top of that there is ‘stuff’ that includes an 88-page leather-bound book, and various items of memorabilia such as a Main Offender plectrum, a bumper sticker, posters, a Main Offender backstage pass and more.
The box is £170 (!) – although ‘only’ £120 in Germany – which makes the two-CD version with all the audio, in casebound book packaging, at £17 seem like a bargain! This re-release is also available on single LP black vinyl and single remastered CD. If you want to spend even more money, Keef’s store has a £250 super deluxe with a special presentation case and a print or a £300 edition signed by photographer Dewey Nicks (not Keith!).
Main Offender is reissued on 18 March 2022, via BMG.
