Arriving in March 1999 with an album cover that referenced The Exorcist and a title scalped from a well-known Glasgow gang slogan, you'd have expected Mogwai's 'Come On Die Young' to be an apocalypse-harbouring, pre-millennial assault on the senses. Instead, we were treated to a darkly elegiac - surprisingly restrained - response to the aural fireworks of their 'Young Team' debut from two years earlier. Includes: Previously unreleased takes from early Chem19 sessions of 'Waltz For Aidan', 'Christmas Steps', 'Rollerball' as well as '7-25' (which ultimately featured on 'Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait'). Seven remixed and remastered album tracks from CAVA sessions pre-dating the final Tarbox recording sessions. Two previously unreleased tracks 'Satchel Panzer' and 'Spoon Test'. Rarities 'Nick Drake', 'Hugh Dallas' and the 3 track 'Travels In Constants EP'. The original, previously unreleased version of 'Helps Both Ways'. A1 'San Siro' poster for Mogwai's Barrowland Ballroom show from October '99. Boxset includes 4 x 180gsm LPs featuring the original 2xLP and 2xLP of bonus material. Two Chem19 Demos are exclusive to the boxset: 'Christmas Steps' and '7-25'. Boxset includes a download code for all audio within the boxset.
