Current 93: Two extraordinarily beautiful box sets from Vinyl on Demand
These two box sets are nearly ready, and will be on display at the C93 London shows, though it is unlikely that copies will be available for sale there—the copies on display are being sent by express by the manufacturer. Please note that these box sets are not available from Coptic Cat or Jnana Records, but only from VOD.
The VOD press release is as follows:
VOD74: CURRENT 93 4LP Unreleased Rarities, Out-takes, Rehearsals and Live 82–95
![]()
shown above: the box for Volume 1 and the sleeve for one of the records
VOLUME 1: Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol, of David Tibet’s Current 93 project includes two LPs with unreleased rarities, out-takes, rehearsals and demos dating from 1983–1995 as well as another 2 LPs with four performances from Amsterdam (1984), Hamburg (1985) and Tokyo (1988). Also contained is a beautiful silkscreened poster made out of hand-made paper produced in Nepal. The box will also contain a metal badge and will be accompanied by a 28-page booklet, with embossed cover, full of very personal photos personally selected by David Tibet from his archives. The booklet itself manifests a journey back in time to the first 15 years of Current 93’s existence. Members will recieve an additional bonus 7“ with two songs from the 1988 Reykjavík performance and the complete London concert at the 100 Club from 1985.
VOD75: CURRENT 93: 4LP set including ‘CHRIST & THE PALE QUEENS, MIGHTY IN SORROW’, ‘THE RED FACE OF GOD’, ‘EMBLEMS’ and ‘AS THE WORLD DISAPPEARS’

VOLUME 2: Wooden box set, with embossed cover of blood-red C93 symbol different to that on Volume 1, of David Tibet's Current 93 project will contain ‘Christ and the Pale Queens’ plus ‘The Red Face of God’ as a Double LP; ‘As the World Disappears’, released for the first time ever on vinyl, and finally an official release of the legendary ‘Emblems’ LP, which has until now only existed as a test pressing. ‘Emblems’ was originally going to be a single LP of material that was only released on the now-deleted 2CD ‘Emblems’, but it never progressed beyond a very limited run of white vinyl test pressings, which are now ferociously rare and expensive. The box will also contain a metal badge (a different badge to that in VOD74) and will be accompanied by a beautiful booklet, with embossed cover, with very personal photos selected by David Tibet from hi s archives; this booklet is totally different to the one in VOD74. Members will also receive in addition a long-sleeve Current 93 T-shirt.
At David Tibet’s express request, the covers for all the LPs have been supplied by the wonderful German, Berlin-based, artist Uwe Henneken, who has used C93 album, and song, titles for many of his extraordinary creations. For more information on Uwe, see this page and also this one.
There is a limited quantity of the pictured deluxe silkscreened and embossed fine linen folder to complete and protect the 2 wooden boxes which can be bought from VOD. (Those VOD members who have subscribed to all 12 releases of 2010 receive the linen folder for free.)
All records of VOD74 and VOD75 will also be sold seperately as stand-alone records in a very limited edition of 231 copies each.
