Ian Brown is best known as the singer of the Stone Roses, but he's also had a fruitful solo career that includes six LPs and a host of non-album material. This holiday season, he will gather up material from throughout his solo career for a massive box set. Entitled Ian Brown Collected, it is due out in the UK on December 3 via Fiction Records.
The box set includes a whopping 10 CDs. This means all six of his studio albums — 1998's Unfinished Monkey Business, 1999's Golden Greats, 2001's Music of the Spheres, 2004's Solarized, 2007's The World Is Yours, and 2009's My Way — plus the 2005 compilation The Greatest and the 2002 remix collection Remixes of the Spheres. There is also a disc of B-sides and an additional disc of remixes.
In addition to the CDs, the box with come with a 60-page hard-bound book and a heavyweight 12-inch record containing eight unreleased remixes. There will also be a DVD compiling Brown's music videos, but this will presumably only work on players with a European region code. On top of all this, there's a numbered silkscreen print, plus a numbered certificate of authenticity signed by Brown.
The box set is limited to 1,000 copies. There's no word as to whether Ian Brown Collection will get an official North American release, but you can order yourself a copy here. Fans who pre-order will get the unreleased bonus tracks "Stellify (The Hours Remix)" and "Time Is My Everything (Sugar Daddy Remix)," most likely as a digital download.
