Across nine 180 gram vinyls, ‘Perry Farrell: The Glitz ; The Glamour’ takes fans through his expansive solo career starting with his first band Psi Com and their five song self-titled EP.  Recorded in 1985, just prior to the formation of Jane’s Addiction, the Psi Com sound was inspired by artists like Joy Division and Siouxsie and the Banshees – setting forth the tempest of what would become Alternative Rock. The band was recently featured in new documentary ‘Desolation Center’, the previously untold story of 80’s guerilla music, art and culture in Southern California, and is available now on all streaming video platforms. Today, Perry has shared one of Psi Com’s tracks from the EP, “Ho Ka Hey.”

2001’s ‘Song Yet To Be Sung’  was inspired by and recorded after a life-changing experience in Sudan helping free thousands of slaves from human bondage.This experience and album set forth Perry as a humanitarian and his commitment to equality. The 12 song EP was written and produced by Perry Farrell and is joined on the album by lifelong friends including Dave Navarro (Jane’s Addiction), Martyn LeNoble (Porno For Pyros), and Stephen Perkins (Jane’s Addiction and Porno For Pyros).

2018’s ‘Kind Heaven was described by Rolling Stone as “a mind-bending audio hallucination.” For the recording of the album, the alt-rock icon assembled a dynamic group of artists who together realised the new collaborative musical venture known as the Kind Heaven Orchestra. The record, co-produced by Farrell and Tony Visconti, features contributions from Elliot Easton (The Cars), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Mike Garson (David Bowie), Chris Chaney (Jane’s Addiction), Etty Lau Farrell, Dhani Harrison as well as Tommy Lee, The Bloody Beetroots, Kaskade, and Joachim Garraud. It featured singles “Pirate Punk Politician, “a searing indictment of the current state of our planet under a rising tide of autocratic regimes, and the soaring song of hope “Let’s all Pray For This World,” plus two applaudable new tracks from the Kind Heaven Orchestra.

There is also an unearthed recording of Jim Morrison (The Doors) that Perry Farrell has composed, and to complete the circle written and recorded with LA’s next generation Starcrawler.

The boxset also features 11 specially commissioned remixes and collaborations spanning two exclusive vinyls.  These feature heavyweight luminaries from the electronic dance world including Maceo Plex, Groove Armada, UNKLE, Solomun, Booka Shade, Richard Norris, Francois K and The Avalanches
