JANE'S ADDICTION Box Set Coming This Year


Artisan News Service reports: At the end of 2006, JANE'S ADDICTION released its first-ever greatest-hits album, titled "Up From the Catacombs - The Best of Jane's Addiction", and according to the band's drummer, Stephen Perkins, who controls the "JANE'S ADDICTION audio vault," that was just the beginning of a three-part package the band plans on releasing for their fans.


"Well that was the beginning," he said. "It's a three-tier package. That's the first record. Later this year in 2008 there's going to be a box set with a bunch of unreleased weird things; really, a lot of it's coming from my home collection, and a lot of cool DVD stuff. We're going to take 'Soul Kiss' and 'Gift' and other things and put a DVD out. So, it's a whole, it's like a three-tier project. So, the first one, 'Up from the Catacombs', was real simple picking those tunes, they're just like the staples of JANE'S. The next two projects I think it's going to be a little more fun finding the odd stuff. Even if it wasn't mixed right or if it's not a great visual but it's something cool, I think it's going to go in."

JANE'S ADDICTION Raids Vaults For Box Set, DVD

Greg Prato of Billboard.com reports: Although it appears most of JANE'S ADDICTION's studio outtakes/rarities have been accounted for and issued, classic live recordings are another story. Now, JANE'S drummer Stephen Perkins is looking into assembling a box set that will focus on memorable and previously unheard live performances from the group.

"We're working on it," Perkins tells Billboard.com. "As far as the packaging and the content, it's going to be loaded. We're hoping to step it up into kind of a more 'collector's item' sort of situation. As far as the content, I've got a whole six or seven boxes full of stuff. We're going through it with Warner Bros., and seeing what's appropriate — what's usable as far as, 'How far do we want to go with lo-fi?' In a perfect world, I would hope to see it out by the summer, but I don't think that's possible. Maybe fall."

Jane Says is the bands only good song hands down.

I like that one also, but I also like that "Been Caught Stealing" track too...

I can't believe you guys... We're talking about one of the best bands ever.Without Jane's bands such as Tool and RATM wouldn't be the same. I'm definitely getting that box set. Ritual de lo Habitual and Nothing's Shocking are diamonds and one of my all time fave albums. I like Strays a lot too. Hopefully the rumored reunion is happening and their coming to Europe too.

i loved the band awhile ago but i grew out of them 4 sum reason
