Please refer to photos - actual shots of the item up for sale.

Up for auction is one (1) copy of the ReDISCovered vinyl box set of THE THE's seminal 1983 album SOUL MINING. This release was published in June 2014 and is unofficially referred to as the 30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition (even though Matt Johnson, himself, makes a comment in the liner notes that the true anniversary is a year late). The audio for this re-release was remastered at Abbey Road Studios by Matt Johnson himself.

This release features the original album on one vinyl disc - minus the single 'Perfect' included on the original U.S. release. The second vinyl disc includes the song 'Perfect' along with several remixes of the songs presented on the first disc. Both discs are pressed on 180g vinyl.

I will describe contents of the box using the photos I've posted for this auction...
