AN ESSENTIAL 9-LP COLLECTION DOCUMENTING ONE OF ALTERNATIVE MUSIC’S MOST ADVENTUROUS AND UNCOMPROMISING ARTISTS. INCLUDES PETER’S STUDIO RECORDINGS FROM 2001 - 2017 AND TWO LIVE ALBUMS NEVER-BEFORE-AVAILABLE ON VINYL WITH A HARDBACK BOOK  

This deluxe nine-LP box set brings together key Peter Murphy solo recordings from 2001 to 2017, newly remastered and presented in definitive form.

Released in conjunction with Peter Murphy, spanning atmospheric studio masterpieces, intimate live performances and late-career creative peaks, the collection captures Murphy's singular artistic vision across more than fifteen years of inspired work.

Included albums:

LP1/2: Dust (2-LP with Etched Side D)

LP3: Unshattered (1-LP)

LP4: Ninth (1-LP)

LP5: Lion (1-LP)

LP6/7: Alive Just For Love (2-LP)

LP8/9: Bare-Boned And Sacred (2-LP)

Each album has been remastered, delivering enhanced clarity while remaining faithful to the original recordings. Housed in premium sleeves and presented in a deluxe rigid bookcase-style box, the collection has been designed as the definitive archival edition for collectors and long-time fans alike.

At the heart of the set is an extensive hardback book featuring newly commissioned writing and rare archival material. Acclaimed author and broadcaster John Robb contributes an in-depth essay exploring Murphy's remarkable creative evolution, while ANOHNI provides a personal foreword reflecting on Murphy's enduring artistic influence. Long-time collaborator and producer Youth offers his own perspective on Murphy's fearless musical journey and creative partnership.

The book also includes a brand-new interview with Peter Murphy, offering fresh insight into the making of the albums, alongside previously unpublished family photographs, rare studio and live images, and archival material drawn from throughout the period. Stylishly art-directed throughout, the package reflects the elegant visual aesthetic that has always accompanied Murphy's music.

From the orchestral beauty of Dust and the introspective textures of Unshattered to the adventurous songwriting of Ninth, the powerful modern rock of Lion, the acclaimed live document Alive Just For Love, and the stripped-back intimacy of Bare-Boned And Sacred, this collection charts an artist who has continually reinvented himself while remaining unmistakably unique.

Beautifully produced and comprehensively curated, this deluxe vinyl edition is both a celebration of Peter Murphy's extraordinary solo catalogue and an essential addition for collectors of post-punk, alternative and art rock.
