Pixies Release Minotaur

The Pixies have  just released Minotaur, an enormous deluxe box-set that literally weights 25 pounds, coupled with a ridiculous price tag. But if you’re a fan, then get your credit card out because the box-set seems to be worth every penny and pound.

Vaughan Oliver designed all five of The Pixies studio albums artwork, and the box-set includes a fifty-four page book of original artwork from a project that Vaughan was part of.

There are two different packages; a Deluxe Edition worth $175, and an autographed Limited Edition going for $495. The Limited Edition package includes the Deluxe Edition, but don’t wait too long because only 3000 copies have been made.
