retrospective various artists compilation, commemorating the first
thirteen years of WAX TRAX! RECORDS. This release highlights 36 of
their artists, including two songs by COIL - one of which has been
remixed by Jack Dangers and Jonny Stephens.
note: The US limited edition triple-cd boxed set for "Black Box Wax Trax!
Records: The First 13 Years." is limited and numbered to 10,000
copies. The entire set comes packaged in a 15cm/13.2cm/5.3cm gauge
steel box (electroplated in zinc), with a black nylon mesh wrapped
around it (tied off at both ends by two twists of thick metal wire).
A 10.8cm/5.4cm double-sided black [print] on creme stock paper
hangtag (which lists the artists featured, plus the contents of the
"box", and features the edition number stamped in red) is twist-tied
to the bag by a thin metal wire. The top lid (imprinted/stamped with
"Black box") lifts off to reveal the following contents inside (from
top to bottom, in order of how they are stacked upon one another): a
41.9cm/71.7cm full-color single sided poster, a 14.1cm/12.2cm 74
paged full-color illustrated booklet, Disc 1, a 8.8cm/8.8cm single-
sided white [print] on black cardboard "Black box" coaster, Disc 2,
an 8.8cm in diameter black [print] on white embroidered "Black Box"
patch, Disc 3, an 18.3cm/12cm black [print] on white [folded over]
postcard to be mailed in for a free WAX TRAX! RECORDS/TVT RECORDS
catalogue, and then (lastly) providing a bedding at the very bottom
of the box, is "69 feet of audio tape outtakes". The booklet
features a biographical history of WAX TRAX! RECORDS from 1973
through 1994, numerous photos of bands and individuals associated
with WAX TRAX! RECORDS, reproductions of various picture sleeves,
five pages of yearbook-like autographs and messages, acknowledgments,
and the tracklisting and credits/production information for each of
the discs. The three cds each come in their own individual solid
black jewel case (instead of the standard transparent ones) with
nothing printed on them at all. Each disc is given an individual
call-number which corresponds to its particular disc number: Disc 1
= TVT 7212-2a, Disc 2 = TVT 7212-2b, and Disc 3 = TVT 7212-2c. And
finally, each disc includes an insert which features the tracklisting
for that corresponding disc.

Wax Trax! Records: The First 13 Years." comes in a 14.4cm/12.4cm/

accompanying booklet. A rectangular white [print] on black sleeve
