Awesome White Zombie box set from Numero Group, limited white vinyl pressing. Really, this is such a great set. Brand new, unlistened to. Excellent condition overall. The shrink wrap is torn, but it's still hanging on, and the hype sticker is still intact. The shrink was opened to confirm the vinyl color since there aren't any external indicators, but the records haven't been played. The slip cover corners are mildly dinged from shipping, but this cover is in better condition than most of the other copies of this set that I've seen. Every one of these box sets that I've encountered has some similar wear, but they're usually a bit more banged up than this one. I think the weight of the set makes it prone to this kind of damage (this thing is heavy.) The white vinyl also has some superficial manufacturing flaws where there are tiny flecks of black vinyl mixed in. Again, this seems to be a common thing with this release. Aside from that, the records and individual sleeves are pristine. The set is in great shape overall. Comes with download code. Please see photos for details, and feel free to ask any questions you may have. Shipping insurance is included in shipping costs for domestic buyers. Thanks for looking!
"Years before Beavis and Butt-head headbanged “Thunder Kiss ’65” and “More Human than Human” into the eternal rock video canon, there was primordial White Zombie—a quintessential, diabolically loud byproduct of Manhattan’s underground rock scene, born of art-school rendezvous and squalid apartment circumstance. It Came From N.Y.C. is the most exhaustive attempt so far to document the band’s wondrously ugly birth. Get reintroduced to White Zombie as New York noise-rock, a grotesque creation that clawed and threatened its way to crossover metal glory. Spread across five LPs or three compact discs, all 39 tracks have been remastered by guitarist J. Yuenger and packaged alongside the original lurid artwork. The accompanying 108-page book painstakingly documents White Zombie’s punishing progression through scores of unpublished photos, period discography, a T-shirtography, and tales from the terrifying early years that stitch together the sordid story of a band whose true power eclipsed its mainstream heyday. White Zombie lives. Don’t be afraid."
