v/a "Too Much Music... Too Many Bands. 20 Years of Boss Tuneage Records." 4xCD

Celebrating 20 years of BOSS TUNEAGE, we have come a long way since our first release in 1990 (the GOOBER PATROL / VEHICLE DEREK split 7”) – over 280 releases have followed in the past two decades, and this 4CD boxset celebrates and documents the history of Boss Tuneage - and has been the biggest project we have ever undertaken!
CD1 is entitled "the originals” and contains an overview of some of the standout tracks from our standout releases past and present, CD2 is entitled “the reissues” and features tracks taken from the Boss Tuneage Retro Series imprint, CD3 is subtitled “the covers” and features Boss Tuneage bands performing cover versions of other bands from the label (the vast majority have been specially recorded for this release) whilst CD4 contains rare, unreleased and out of print recordings from the archives – many of which have never been on CD before.
In total, 120 tracks, including 27 previously unreleased with a further 50 tracks either out of print or never been on CD before. Coupled with a thick booklet containing extensive liner notes including a full and detailed discography and lots of memorabilia and previously unseen photos, this 4CD set is strictly limited to 1000 copies worldwide and will not be repressed, so represents a stunning document of the first twenty years of our label.
