Red House Painters Vinyl Boxset

4AD today announced a (very) limited edition but lovely looking Red House Painters vinyl boxset, reissuing the four albums from their time on the label.  This is great news, as anybody that's ever looked will know that those albums sell for some serious dollar and haven't been on vinyl since their initial release 20+ years ago.

They also have a serious stage presence and are destined to be heralded as a great live act.Back in September they flew to Ibiza to support Franz Ferdinand on stage at Ibiza Rocks. Whilst there they shot their first video, which features two tracks,...
