The 20th anniversary reissue of the Breeders' classic album Last Splash will be released as a vinyl boxset on September 2nd (the set was due in the spring, but was delayed, though the cd version was released). The set includes three LPs (Last Splash, The Stockholm Syndrome, and an LP of demos and rarities) and four 10" EPs (Safari, Cannonball, Divine Hammer and Head to Toe). The set comes with an extensive booklet and is packaged in a box with artwork designed by Vaughan Oliver who was the designer of the original Last Splash artwork. According to 4AD the vinyl boxset will only be pressed once, and fans are urged to pre-order the collection. Pre-order here.
