this record is for donald rodie. he was a good friend to all the people involved in these recordings and to a great many other people too. it may be that you knew him as well. if you didn't then that is ok. he was one of us. you would have liked him. a meticulous collector of music, always listened first, and then he would speak. he was around before and during all the nitzer ebb years. not only that he really loved iggy and saw him over fifty-five times. his enthusiasm became ours and this song became his. he knew we were planning a cover version but we never got to tell him which song as it was going to be a surprise. the surprise was donald left all of us in april 2018. these versions were recorded over a few days in the late summer of that year. this is for donald, his wife sharon and his children marianne and jimmy. pylon49. pylon records 2019. all proceeds from this recording will be going to cancer reseach uk: cancerresearchuk.org

THE BOX SET

This career spanning retrospective box marks the first time that all five of the band’s albums for Geffen/Mute have been collected in one complete box set. The box set features expanded double black vinyl of each album (10 vinyl LPs in all), with several bonus tracks and hard to find 12” mixes - all carefully curated and remastered by Pylon Records. The original artwork has also been expanded into gatefold sleeves, with embossing and spot UV finish. It also contains a large size booklet with liner notes by the band's co-founders Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris, along with unseen photos, flyers and artwork, detailing their entire career in chronological order from Essex to Los Angeles. These albums have been out-of-print since the early '90s and have never been reissued prior to this.

The actual two-piece box is made of hard board stock, wrapped with leather paper and the UV design is hot foiled stamped. The box also has accommodated extra space inside for their first self-released album, Basic Pain Procedure, from 1983 and their last release, Industrial Complex, from 2010, to complete the collection by the fans, as these titles have been in print in recent years.

There is a limited colored vinyl edition of the box, which will also include a re-press of the band's debut album, Basic Pain Procedure, available only from the Pylon Records website for a short period of time. The Industrial Complex vinyl has been in print in the last several years on colored vinyl, and easily attainable on many online and fine record stores around the world.
