Orboretum - The Orb Collection: Limited Colour Vinyl 4LP Box Set

A career-spanning compilation curated by Dr. Alex Paterson, featuring new and rare mixes. 'Orboretum: The Orb Collection' looks back at the band's history and also spotlights recent masterpieces like 'Abolition Of The Royal Familia' (2020) and 'Prism' (2023), hailed by the media as some of their greatest work. This 4LP set comes in a stunning octagon-shaped package that unfolds into a huge flower. Each of the four discs is pressed in a different vibrant colour - green, lilac, orange, and blue - and comes with sleeve notes by Kris Needs. Alex has grouped each side of the vinyl to represent the four seasons, which is why it has a botanical title. The compilation's 'roots and recent shoots' cover their work for Universal on discs A and B, while discs C and D explore their music for indie labels like Cooking Vinyl, Kompakt, Malicious Damage, and Liquid Sound Design. As Alex Paterson says, 'This is a director’s cut, reframing our output, creating new connections.'

To use this 4LP vinyl box set, simply remove the discs from the beautiful octagon - shaped package carefully. Place the vinyl on your turntable and use a suitable stylus to play the music. Make sure your turntable is set up correctly and is clean to get the best sound quality. When handling the vinyl, always hold it by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints on the playing surface. After use, gently place the discs back in their sleeves and then in the box. Store the box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vinyl from warping and the package from fading. Also, keep it away from magnetic fields as they can affect the sound quality of the vinyl.
