In occasione del 25 ° anniversario della band, i Mansun hanno annunciato i dettagli di un super cofanetto che raccoglierà tutto ciò che hanno registrato. L’uscita è attesa il 27 novembre su KScope e il prezzo è di 182 euro. Il cofanetto contiene i remaster dei loro quattro album originali in studio, tantissimi live, singoli e B-side, session radio, demo, rarità e outtakes e un DVD con un live alla Brixton Academy, tutte le performance della BBC e il documentario “Nobody Cares When You’re Gone”.
Il cofanetto include inoltre un libro cartonato di 160 pagine scritto dal famoso giornalista musicale Peter Doggett con svariate foto, un libro di 112 pagine che documenta le fanzine ufficiali “Smelling The Roses’, ‘Take It Easy’ e ‘Cult Of Positivity’, un ulteriore libro di 48 pagine, stampe, 4 cartoline e il testo scritto a mano di “Closed For Business” firmato da Paul Draper.
A questo punto possiamo dire davvero che il confanetto diventa la summa assoluta della produzione della band di Paul Draper. Gruppo sempre contro corrente che difficilmente amava le catalogazioni e, nella sua carriera, ha spesso deciso di muoversi anche “contro” le regole del mercato discografico o quanto l’etichetta avrebbe richiesto.
