Experience the punishing sonic origins of a punk icon. Collected here for the first time, and skillfully remastered from original board tapes, demos, and session masters, this collection is an authoritative chronicling of the wellspring and maturation of Grant Hart, Greg Norton and Bob Mould—three St. Paul teenagers who'd go on to become the most heralded trio of the American punk underground. Follow the Hüskers to their earliest gigs in 1979, through extensive road dog touring, and to the start of their partnership with West Coast tastemaker SST in 1983 via a 108-page hardbound book crammed full of photos, flyers, and a sprawling essay with participation from the band. Spread across four LPs, 47 of the 69 songs compiled here are previously unissued, and includes In A Free Land, Everything Falls Apart , and an alternate Land Speed Record.
We’ve also pressed up a limited edition bonus 7” for mail order customers. Extra Circus gathers five previously unissued songs from the January 1983 Metal Circus sessions and is packaged in a full color sleeve, as designer Grant Hart intended.
Package details:
•4 LPs or 3CDs •Tip on jackets or die cut sleeves •108-page or 144-page hardcover book •Linen-finished slipcase •69 songs, 47 previously unissued •Flyerography •40 previously unpublished photographs •12,000 word essay by Erin Osmon •Sessionography by Paul Hilcoff •Remastered from the original analog tapes

Bump: There's going to be a general release of this box set, and pre-order links are now in the first post. Amazon's price is better if you want only the 3CD set. Numero is selling its own bundle of the 3CD set and an exclusive vinyl EP, which is linked in the second post.

Extra Circus is a vinyl ep consisting of outtakes from the Metal Circus Sessions. The photo/excerpt linked above was Grant Harts original concept for the cover. It's not available digitally (Numero doesn't have the rights), and available only with the cd or vinyl sets.
