PAY CLOSE ATTENTION Limited Deluxe Four LP Lidded Box Set + DVD – Various Artists

VARIOUS ARTISTS PAY CLOSE ATTENTION Limited Deluxe Four LP Lidded Box Set + DVD

Overview:
XL Recordings release Pay Close Attention, a label
history-spanning compilation album. The album documents and celebrates the key releases and moments from the 25 year history of the Londonbased, independent record label.
In the Pay Close Attention sleevenotes, XL owner Richard Russell writes: XL Recordings is a collaborative endeavour, and many people have contributed to its evolution. In the song Out Of Space, Liam Howlett of The Prodigy provided a
blueprint when he sampled Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic MCs rapping these words: Pay Close Attention. And whilst XL has never had any outside ownership, Gil Scott-Heron advised me not to even consider XL an independent, because everything is connected. Part 1 of this compilation are the roots of XL; underground music, made for DJs. These roots
are still growing. Part 2 features some of the singular
talents who have taken the label further than we ever
envisioned. There is no unifying genre; hopefully the thread of originality is evident though.
Available as a deluxe four LP lidded boxset that includes a poster and a bonus 10 track NTSC Region 0 DVD featuring such iconic footage as The Prodigys Firestarter video, Michel Gondrys Fell In Love With A Girl (for The White Stripes) and Adele performing Someone Like You at The Brits.
