Demon has done some of these boxes for Record Store Day, but this one is a proper release available online. We are talking about  The Blues Classic 45s box set.

Down as a limited edition (although we don’t know for sure how many), it is a box of 10 7-inch singles showcasing some mighty fine blues classics and some of the ‘very biggest and most influential artists of the genre’.

All double A sides, all ‘dinked’ for jukeboxes (with a spider to play elsewhere included) and all housed in a hard box. The tracks selected are listed below, with plenty of bona fide mod classics amongst them. Full track listings below.

The box is out on 17th June 2016 and is available to pre-order now at Amazon for £60.93.
