Hi 4AD,
This is absolutely fantastic news and I cannot wait to hear these tracks re=
mastered, esspecially those that have never been released on CD before.
But I do think that it is my duty to let you know that this will not be a r=
elease including 'all their released studio recordings and mixes' as one is=
 missing which Martyn himself may have forgotten about. There was a remix o=
f 'Manic' which Martyn did himself for a compilation LP released with 'Abst=
ract Magazine'. I have a copy of the remixed track, ripped from the vinyl, =
which will prove that this is a very different mix to the others, and you c=
an find out more about this official release here http://www.discogs.com/Va=
rious-Abstract-Magazine-Issue-5/release/209510 . Maybe there is time to add=
 it on to make sure this is a complete release.
Richard

COLOURBOX =95 BOX SET

Release dates : 21 May 2012 (Europe) / 22 May 2012 (USA)

Today, in the wake of of the whole techno, trip-hop and electronica revolut=
ion, it's almost standard for bands to comprise a pair of faceless technocr=
ats, making the sort of sounds whose breadth and colour exceeds the imagina=
tion of most traditional guitar bands. Back in the early Eighties, however,=
 such outfits were thin on the ground.

Colourbox emerged from the diverse mix of musical cultures that formed the =
post-punk era, inevitably incorporating synthpop, indie, reggae, dub, soul =
and funk. They were dance pioneers in the pre-sampling era, where effects w=
ere painstakingly created in the studio, and from 1982 to 1986 they created=
 an eclectic body of work incorporating their influences but imploded after=
 the collaboration as M/A/R/R/S, on Pump Up The Volume, went to No.1 =96 ma=
king them the only number one-hit wonders that never bothered to release a =
follow-up recording.

To celebrate their 30th anniversary it only seems right that 4AD finally re=
lease the ultimate Colourbox compilation. Entitled simply Colourbox (and wh=
y not? =96 the other albums are!) it is a 4 CD box set of all their release=
d studio recordings and mixes which has been sequenced by Martyn Young.

CD1 is the 1985 album, Colourbox, and includes all the tracks from the free=
 album that was included with the original 10,000 LPs. The second disc is t=
he 7" singles and the third is the 12" mixes. The final disc has the 4 trac=
k mini-album, Colourbox, an unreleased early mix of Arena and eight tracks =
recorded in session for the BBC.
