Andrew Bird The Mysterious Production of Eggs: 20th Ann. Deluxe Ed.
Full Details
Andrew Bird's The Mysterious Production of Eggs Reissued for Its 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition on 3LP Box Set: Includes the Original Album, Rare Tracks, Demos, and Orchestral Versions. Also Includes a 54-Page Book with Photos & Essays.
In 2005, Andrew Bird was a previously unimaginable combination of virtuoso violinist, singer-songwriter, guitarist, and whistler. With that year’s album The Mysterious Production of Eggs, Bird minted a new sound that continues to be imitated today.
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Mysterious Production of Eggs, Andrew Bird is releasing a very special box set featuring a 54 page book including photographs, special surprises, and two essays: one written by Andrew himself, and another by Anders Lindall examining the circuitous and fascinating process Andrew and collaborators took to record the album.
The box set also includes the original release of the album, alongside two LPs of never before released material, on black vinyl. On one LP, a one-to-one playthrough of the album but of demos, live cuts, and alternate versions. The third LP includes more never released rarities on Side A, and a selection of songs from the original album performed by Andrew with the Nu Deco Ensemble. The original cover artist has created all-new artwork for the anniversary piece.
