Vinyl boxset includes a 2500 micron black lined box with original logo in silver foil, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity 2xLP with poster, Love of Life LP and a bonus CD of outtakes and contemporaneous live recordings with signed sleeve by M. Gira. Please note that Love of Life/YG51 does not contain a poster in this edition.

*Due to the matte finish of the box there may be slight imperfections such as mild scuffing or bubbling of the paper. These boxes are sold AS-IS and are not eligible for return or exchange.*

In addition, White Light from the Mouth of Infinity and Love of Life is available as a 3xCD set which includes the bonus disc and signed insert by M. Gira.

White Light from the Mouth of Infinity, Swans’ seventh studio album originally released in 1991, is considered the starting point for the second section of Swans’ inimitable history. Described as “…the glistening, glimmering sounds of the pensive countryside” by Stereogum, this will be the first time White Light from the Mouth of Infinity has been available on vinyl since its original release on Young God Records in 1991. The vinyl issue will include the track ‘Blind’, not included in the original release.

Love of Life, the band’s eighth studio album, followed soon after in 1992. According to Allmusic’s Ned Ragget, “Love of Life continues the astounding creative roll Swans found themselves on … yet another Swans masterpiece." The vinyl version of this album has also been unavailable since its original release.
