69 - The Legendary Adventures of a Filter King

Following last year's Sessions compilation, Detroit's Planet E founder Carl Craig prepares to release a limited edition box-set of his 69 releases.

To be released on August 26, this specially designed vinyl package features the out-of-print 12-inches 4 Jazz Funk Classics (1991, PE69-1), Sound on Sound (1993, PE69170), Lite Music (1995, PE69339) and Pungtang (2006, PE 65284). On top of that comes a fifth disc with previously unreleased mixes.

Please note that this special edition is limited to only 500 copies worldwide, 100 of them contain an exclusive t-shirt. Pre-orders can be made at Rush Hour, Clone Records or Juno.

I remember reading somewhere, that Carl Craig wants to maintain a very careful policy on which of the label's classic records will be re-released. Consequentially, The Legendary Adventures of a Filter King should be regarded as an exception for a few lucky ones.

Update Planet E's Facebook page has some more images of the artwork made by Machine

Sep 11, 2009 Got my boxset today, the design of the box is very beautiful and each of the discs comes in a different color. I'm happy I got me this! However, the t-shirt doesn't look great at all and the printing quality isn't the best either.
