Regular readers of this blog may recall we posted about Farrow's design work for Pet Shop Boy's album Yes, earlier in the year. In that original post we showed the standard release but mentioned a forthcoming limited edition vinyl version of the album - which we can now show you photos of...

A collaboration between Farrow and the Pet Shop Boys, and produced by The Vinyl Factory, this version of the album sees its eleven tracks split over eleven separate super-heavyweight 200-gram vinyl records with exclusive b-side instrumentals, each in a coloured sleeve, all housed in a smoked, handmade Perspex case. These sleeves can be arranged like this:

Or, if you've got the space, like this:

Also included in the box set is a twelfth, white sleeve, which contains a fine art giclee print, hand signed and numbered by the Pet Shop Boys themselves, plus a credit sheet. There are only 300 copies of the box set worldwide and one will cost you £300.

Visit thevinylfactory.com for full details and to order a copy.

Very nice, I'd prefer to have it without the actual records in it though...

For some time now PSB have dilligently crafted some very fine work and - at all times maintained a degree of finesse in their presentation and astute marketing. The b sides being orchestral ( and Jealousy being my favourite 12" mix ) I have to differ from Stu and say what a remarkable piece of workmanship it is. I will say - no I do not think everything by PSB is brilliant but when they shine they illuminate the universe . Yes it is a brilliant package- what a pity that we can't get a copy of those 12" - albeit plain sleeves ina budget set - because I am sure like Potemkin there is some brilliant moments on there - in a field that I cannot really thinkl of anyone else pondering into. NB . Nope - cds - DON"T CUT it and NO - not everybody wants to handle records rough like a cool as dj ata record fair.
