I suspect it’s a love or hate band, but personally I love ’em, so you’ll have to indulge me in a write-up of Corduroy – Very Yeah – The Director’s Cut Complete Compositions 1992-1996 box set.

Yes, a Corduroy box set. When I mentioned this on Twitter a while back, a number of people didn’t actually believe me that Cherry Red was producing one. But they are, with the box due for release on 20th May 2013.

It’s a 4CD box, showcasing the band’s five (out of print) albums for Acid Jazz and Big Cat, as well as throwing in a number of rarities and unissued tracks. Each album is housed in a replica card sleeve, sat alongside a 16-page booklet featuring rare photos and new sleevenotes from Corduroy bassist Rich Searle.

As I mentioned there, plenty of non-album cuts too (22 in total), 17 of which are previously unreleased tracks and demos. That swells the length of the discs to 80 minutes each, so we’re talking quite a lengthy set. Those unissued tunes include a previously unheard vocal version of Very Yeah and the very first demo version of E-Type (used for the promo video) and covers of two famous US TV themes (Sesame Street and Quincy Jones Hikky Bur, from the Bill Cosby Show).

Tracklisting in full below, with pre-orders available from Amazon for £21. There’s a Facebook page for the release too.
