PREMIUM PACKAGING: Elektra delivers biggest boxed set of the season.
Arguably, the most ambitious boxed set of the season is Elektra's Forever Changing compendium. The package, released today (Monday), comprises 117 tracks from artists featured on the Elektra roster between 1963 and 1973, with around 45% of the material having never appeared on CD before.
For the deluxe edition, the compilers at Rhino UK crammed postcards, art prints, pin badges and a 96-page book into the huge 33cm by 33cm box. Elektra founder Jac Holzman's book, Follow The Music, features in the set on CD-Rom, and here he talks exclusively to Music Week about the project.
How did the package come about?
Nick Stewart and Stuart Batsford at Rhino thought it would be an interesting thing to do. They told me they were making this thing and asked if I would like to be involved, and I said I'd certainly like to make sure there weren't any egregious errors. When I saw the tracklisting, I realised that there's an enormous benefit to having a knowledgeable and passionate fan do this project. It was really interesting because they juxtaposed songs in ways that I probably wouldn't have thought. For pretty much every interesting record, there was a track that was very representative of what that artist was doing at that point.
