As Madonna once said … “We are living in a Material World and I am a Material Girl (or guy)"

Well we’re not really the materialistic types here are we, but sometimes you see something and think “I’d really like one of them!”

Obviously we are taking objects and here is not the place to post pictures of Botox Kylie™ or Johnny Depp in his underpants, there was a separate place for that! :-D

Let the lusting begin ...

Each copy of the Limited Edition is individually numbered, and hand-signed by every member of the Pixies and Vaughan Oliver. Additionally, at random, 25 of the 3000 Limited Edition sets will include test pressings of the vinyl albums. This set is curated by legendary graphic designer, Vaughan Oliver, who in connection with photographer Simon Larbalestier, created the album artwork for all five Pixies' studio albums. Oliver and Larbalestier have teamed up once again on Minotaur, to create their largest single body of Pixies work to date.

Includes all five Pixies' studio albums (Come on Pilgrim, Surfer Rosa, Doolittle, Bossanova, and Trompe le Monde) in the following formats: • 24k gold plated CDs • five 12" - 180 gram virgin vinyl LPs cut from the original analog tapes • Blu-ray audio mastered for 5.1 surround sound at 24/192, and 2 channel stereo • DVD mastered for 5.1 surround sound at 24/96, and 2 channel stereo .

Also included is the previously unreleased Pixies 1991 live performance from Brixton, on both Blu-ray and DVD, mastered for 5.1 surround sound at 24/192 and 24/96, respectively. All discs are housed in a custom designed folio.

In addition to reinterpreting all of the original album covers, Oliver's and Larbalestier's extensive work is featured in a 96-page fine art book, measuring 22" x 14" inches, and an additional 54-page book, measuring 7.75" x 8.25". Also included is a 12" x 19.5" giclee print of the duo’s work, and two double-sided fold-out posters measuring 48" x 36".

"I like that the sheer size of Minotaur moves it into the category of being an art object as opposed to being just a CD box set. It's not necessarily something you'd put next to your stereo, but on your marble coffee table with your other art books.” - Pixies' Frank Black
