Nitzer Ebb announced the release of a career-spanning vinyl box set Nitzer Ebb 1982 - 2010. The set collects their five Mute/Geffen studio albums which have been out of print since the early 90s: That Total Age, Belief, Showtime, Ebbhead, and Big Hit; plus the remix EP AS/IS.
Each album has been expanded on double vinyl and includes bonus tracks and rare 12" mixes. The original artwork has also been expanded into gatefold sleeves, with embossing and spot UV finish. It also contains a large size booklet with liner notes by the band's co-founders Douglas McCarthy and Bon Harris, along with unseen photos, flyers and artwork, detailing their entire career in chronological order.
There are TWO editions of the boxset; the standard 10 piece LP boxset and an 11 piece limited colored vinyl edition. The colored vinyl box set includes a copy of Basic Pain Procedure, Nitzer Ebb's debut self-released album pressed on limited edition red/clear/white splatter vinyl. The limited edition colored vinyl box is ONLY available through Pylon Records.
The standard vinyl box edition is available through record distributors and includes extra space inside the box itself to house Basic Pain Procedure and Nitzer Ebb's most recent album Industrial Complex. [A black vinyl edition of Basic Pain Procedure and Industrial Complex were both recently issued and are widely available, thus Nitzer Ebb opted to omit these from the box set].
Nitzer Ebb 1982 - 2010 will be released on October 5th. Pre-order here.
Meanwhile Nitzer Ebb announced their live return. Douglas McCarthy and Bon Scott have been performing together as Nitzer Ebb but have been on hiatus since 2010. Today Nitzer Ebb announced that along with McCarthy and Scott, original NEP (NitzerEbbProdukt) members David Gooday and Simon Granger will join them onstage to perform at the Amphi festival in Cologne next July. This marks the first time all four members have performed together since 1987. More dates featuring the original expanded lineup will be announced soon.
