Lullabies To Violaine Vol 1

originally released in november 2005 in a limited edition box set, these two double cd sets offer a unique view of the cocteau twins musical journey from the perspective of all their single / ep releases. volume one covers the 4ad era (1982-1990) and volume two documents the mercury / capitol years (1993-1996). the 4ad material was previously available in a 10xcd box set which had a cd for each single, though this set features alternative mixes of 'pearly-dewdrops drops' and 'aikea-guinea'. volume two has never been anthologised and has tracks that were limited as singles, as well as the christmas tracks 'frosty the snowman' and 'winter wonderland'. a completists dream.
