Unreleased Material on LSXX

Many of the tracks in the set have never been released before, or have never been available worldwide. Cover and sleeve artwork has been created by renowned British legendary visual designer Vaughan Oliver, who designed the original Last Splash artwork.

The vinyl box set includes:

  • 12-inch vinyl pressing of Last Splash
  • 4 10-inch EPs – Safari, Cannonball, Divine Hammer, and Head to Toe
  • 12-inch vinyl live concert album, Stockholm Syndrome, recorded in Sweden in 1994, during the band’s last European tour.  Seven tracks from this recording appeared on a fan-club-only CD.
  • 12-inch vinyl record comprised of BBC radio sessions recorded on July 24, 1993, backed with the original Last Splash demo recordings from November, 1992
  • 24-page booklet featuring previously unpublished photographs taken during the recording of Last Splash, personal photos taken during the tours, and recollections from the band members and others.

The CD release is comprised of the same material in a three-disc set.
