Notes
The packaging to this handmade limited edition is made with a linoleum block print (printed on hand-brushed white ink). The drawing for the print and the printing itself was expertly accomplished by Nicole Boitos (signed and numbered 1 – 2000 by Nicole), based upon a concept/sketch by M.Gira. Each individual cover is further drawn upon / personalized and signed by M.Gira. Each one is unique! The songs on the CDs are live Swans recordings culled from the recent 2012/2013 tours. The collection also includes two crude demo recordings by M.Gira, of additional new material to be recorded for the upcoming new Swans studio album.

Notes
Limited to 2500 individually unique and signed 2xCD packs. Sold out in two days.

The package comes with a sheet of notes / text by M. Gira discussing the live recordings and plans for developing them on record… The 4 new / unrecorded live songs (of 6 live songs total) contained here are (long) pieces that were developed through correction, improvisation, and catastrophe over the course of 16 months touring, and they’re still not “finished”, per se – as always, this is work in progress, to be further explored in the studio. Also included are 4 very rough, crudely recorded demos by M. Gira, that will be re-recorded and further orchestrated on the new Swans album…

The image on this limited edition item is printed with a linoleum block on hand-brushed white ink. We used a manufactured double CD rough cardboard sleeve this time to aid in sturdiness. The drawing for the print was expertly accomplished by Nicole Boitos (www.nicoleboitos.com) (signed by Nicole and numbered 1 – 2500) based upon a sketch/concept by M. Gira (see below for evolution of this process). Each individual cover is further drawn upon, personalized and signed by M. Gira. Each one is unique!

Notes
Liner notes:
"The material for this album is collected here in a limited edition and serves as a memento of my solo tour, 2016. These are some of the songs that I play and reinterpret in a live solo setting. They were collected from various sources, some previously unavailable, some obscure and some not. If you'd care to explore the original context in which these songs first appeared, their sources are listed immediately following the song title below. This collection and this physical package will not be available other than at my current series of solo performances. As usual I appreciate the opportunity to perform my songs for you, and I love you. - Michael Gira, NY, 2016."
