Porcupine Tree detail new The Delerium Years box set

 

Porcupine Tree have released details of their new Porcupine Tree – The Delerium Years 13-disc box set which brings together all of the band’s recordings issued by the Delerium label between 1992-97 and which will be released through Transmission Records on November 20.

This period in the band’s illustrious career will be documented visually though a 140-page book with rare photographs and other archive material, plus biographical liner notes by Stephen Humphries (adapted from his sleeve notes for the Delerium Years vinyl box sets), and replicas of the full width original artwork for Signify and an October 1995 tour poster.

“Myself and the band are very happy to have all our work united on our Transmission imprint through Snapper Music, a label we’ve had a long and extremely positive relationship with,” says Steven Wilson. “We are discussing many exciting possibilities for the catalogue going forward, plans that will take in definitive special editions of existing albums, but also open the vaults to archive material.”
