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 MC’s 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 Prodigy’s ‘Firestarter’ video, Michel Gondry’s ‘Fell In Love With A Girl’ (for The White Stripes) and Adele performing ‘Someone Like You’ at The Brits.
