ABOUT THIS ITEM

Welcome, come on in, sit down, be at ease. I want to take you back - back, back, back into the mists of time, when Margaret Thatcher was still - just - in power, Nelson Mandela had just been released from prison, the World Cup was won not by Germany but by West Germany and a man called Tim Berners-Lee published a formal proposal for something esoteric called the World Wide Web. And two young DJ / producers, fresh from their success with the likes of household names such as Yazz and Lisa Stansfield as well as in their own right, returned from a tour of Japan sick of major label bullsh*t and decided to set up on their own imprint. These two fresh-faced young men, Jon More and Matt Black, collectively known as Coldcut, made NINJA TUNE. 20 years! Twenty fu*king years!? That's a long time for anything, but for an independent record label it's aeons. So yes, Ninja are going to make a fuss. Yes, they are going to celebrate. But this will not be a tired cash-in, a festival of re-tread or an orgy of old. NO! They are focussing on new material, new newness. All spread over a SIX CD, SIX 7" (and a book) fancy pants box set.

CASE 1 contains 6 CDs of new exclusive music: 4 CDs of which will be released as two stand alone compilations (which will include a few recently released favourites as well as the wealth of exclusives found on the boxset, apart from the 7 Inch's and CD5+6) + 2 CDs of music only available in this box set – i.e. not available digitally or anywhere outside the box set.

CASE 2 contains: 6 x 7" singles – all material only available in this box set + an inner pocket with a Ninja family tree poster by Nigel Peake + Sleeve Cover Poster + Ninja Tune XX Sticker Sheet.
 
CASE 3 is the exclusive hardback edition of Black Dog Publishing book “NINJA TUNE: 20 Years of Beats & Pieces” by Stevie Chick (hardback edition only available in this box set).
