Perry Farrell announces huge 35 year retrospective boxset

The mighty Perry Farrell has announced a brand-new career-spanning solo boxset, The Glitz; The Glamour, taking in 35 years of his "life, music and art that looks into his world outside the works of Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros".

This 68-song collection kicks off with material from Perry's first band Psi Com, before running through his 2001 project Song Yet To Be Sung, Satellite Party’s Ultra Payloaded, recent solo album Kind Heaven, and "11 specially commissioned remixes and collaborations spanning two exclusive vinyls".

Speaking to Kerrang! about how The Glitz; The Glamour came about, Perry explains, "The charge was actually led by my management, who went back and listened to the work I’d done and said: ‘You’ve never been fully realised, and we think it’s time that you put this work out in an organised manner.' They went looking for everything that I’d done, including my first group Psi Com. Somebody actually found the masters for Psi Com in the trash and retrieved them. That’s how little I was paying attention, shall we say, in those days. Back then my attitude was: ‘What I’m about to witness is for my eyes and ears only, and that will make it really valuable.' That sounds naïve, but in the long run it worked out that way. Psi Com wasn’t heard by a lot of people. We made the record for $500. It’s great to have it now, though, as a way to connect with my past."
