JANE'S ADDICTION Box Set Coming This Year

Artisan News Service reports: At the end of 2006, JANE'S ADDICTION released its first-ever greatest-hits album, titled "Up From the Catacombs - The Best of Jane's Addiction", and according to the band's drummer, Stephen Perkins, who controls the "JANE'S ADDICTION audio vault," that was just the beginning of a three-part package the band plans on releasing for their fans.

"Well that was the beginning," he said. "It's a three-tier package. That's the first record. Later this year in 2008 there's going to be a box set with a bunch of unreleased weird things; really, a lot of it's coming from my home collection, and a lot of cool DVD stuff. We're going to take 'Soul Kiss' and 'Gift' and other things and put a DVD out. So, it's a whole, it's like a three-tier project. So, the first one, 'Up from the Catacombs', was real simple picking those tunes, they're just like the staples of JANE'S. The next two projects I think it's going to be a little more fun finding the odd stuff. Even if it wasn't mixed right or if it's not a great visual but it's something cool, I think it's going to go in."

good to see another Janes addict around! Wouldn't hold my breath for any box set though. I don't know about you, but I've been hearing rumors about this since 2006. If Perry's not involved, I don't see it getting done, hope I'm wrong

I would love to see it though, and if it has DVD material it better be more than just Gift and Soul kiss......I would like to see some live footage paritcularly from their "peak" which was also their end in 1991.... Their live performances were unreal during that spring going into the first Lollapalooza..of course they all pretty much hated each other already by then...which made the performence that much more edgy

I hope this is true....JA was my fave band of the 90's...some of the best shows I ever seen...Soul Kiss was crazy (drum solo with pots and pans)
