Legendary Pink Box (Legendary Pink Dots)
Rex <richwill@xsite.net>
Issued originally by PIAS on vinyl in 1989 and then on CD in 1991, The
Legendary Pink Box represents an LPD career retrospective, but instead of
featuring a hodgepodge of album tracks like Stone Circles, the Box gathers
up three albums (two CDs) worth of previously unreleased material. Ten
tracks are new recordings of early cassette-only tracks. Eleven tracks are
actually some of those old (1981-1983) cassette-only recordings, like those
on the recent Prayer For Aradia, Under Triple Moons, and Stained Glass Soma
Fountains compilations. Additionally, three tracks are brand-new studio
pieces, including the stellar "Premonition 13" which could very well be the
best LPD track ever and often appears as the grand encore for the Dots in
concert.
