ART BEARS BOX SET - PREORDER OFFER CLOSES NOVEMBER 30

US & CA Orders only, offer ends November 30, 2003 

To mark the 25th Anniversary of the Art Bears Recommended Records will
be releasing a 6 CD box. Squidco is working with ReR to take preorders
for US sales only at this special preorder price of $72 ($70 when
paying by check), which includes the cost of US shipping. The box
contains:

1. The three original releases, properly re-mastered, - when we did
them before, the technology was much poorer, and we didn't know what we
were doing. Now we do. Stunningy re-mastered by Bob Drake from 24 bit
transcriptions of the original tapes and in newly designed Digipacks,
same cover art, of course.

2. Art Bears Revisited -A double CD of re-mixes, re-workings and
(mostly) new pieces made from the Art Bears multi-track masters by JOHN
OSWALD, THE RESIDENTS, CHRISTIAN MARCLAY, FRED FRITH, CHRIS CUTLER,
BIOTA, OTOMO YOSHIHIDE/GROUND ZERO, BOB DRAKE JON ROSE, OSSATURA,
WARRIC SWINNEY/KALAHARI SURFERS, WHEN, THOMAS DIMUZIO, ANNIE GOSFIELD
ROGER KLEIR,ANDREA ROCCA, VITOR RUA, JOCELYN ROBERT,MUSCI/ VENOSTA/
MARIANI, MASSIMO SIMONINI, HERB HEINZ. MARTIN ARCHER, YASUSHI
UTSUNOMIYA, JON LEIDECKER/WOBBLY, STEVAN KOVACS TICKMAYER and BRIAN
WOODBURY.

6 years in the making, this is an amazing catalogue of imagination and
great music. Digi-packed with a cover art by EM Thomas, who did all
three original art bears covers and containing Art re-mixes in the
booklet as well as comprehensive information. This double also contains
Collapse from the Ralph Records single, All Hail from the Recommended
Sampler and one previously unreleased and unfinished track completed by
Fred Frith and Chris Cutler for this release.

3. A free extra CD only available with the box (there are reasons)
containing further re-workings by John Oswald, Bob Drake, Fred Frith,
Biota, Yasushi Utsunomiya, as well as live Art Bears tracks and a Duck
and Cover cover.

4. A thick book of artwork, articles, notes, interviews and commentary
on the material, the work process, the tour and the band in general,
with photographs, documents and artwork.

It's priced so that if you buy the box it's the same as buying 3 new
CDs in a shop, effectively making the other 3, the book and the box
free. And, trust me, the re-mastering is infinitely superior to the
previous CDs so, If you like those bears, you will want the new
versions. And by subscribing, you help us pay the enormous bills for
this outsize project.

This offer - for a special numbered edition with extra subscription
only material is for ReR adherents only and has to close on November
30. Soon after that you should receive your Box. Just in time for Xmas.
