I& #39;m going to tweet a daily thread of my boxsets and key tracks from them... lockdown is a good excuse to get them out. #BoxedIn

Starting with & #39;Heart and soul& #39; from Joy Division and & #39;Retro& #39; by @neworder ...clearly the only choice for track is & #39;Isolation& #39; https://youtu.be/5ViMA_qDKTU ">https://youtu.be/5ViMA_qDK...
My second #BoxedIn is also my newest; @CherryRedGroup & #39;Bloom! The full story 1985-1992& #39; by @PRIMITIVESband (who I would have been seeing live soon).
The track: & #39;Stop killing me& #39; https://youtu.be/0mSKybVh5Sw ">https://youtu.be/0mSKybVh5...
Today for #BoxedIn - this @lightintheattic Lee Hazlewood beauty. I& #39;d already spent a small fortune tracking down most of the songs on this by the time it was released, but it& #39;s still a treasure trove. Definitely how to do a boxset. Still haven& #39;t watched & #39;Cowboy in Sweden& #39; though.
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is @underworldlive ...nobody does boxsets better. Dubnobass is my favourite possession (even if it leaves out the phenomenal & #39;Saved from the cutting room floor& #39;. But my choice is an alternative & #39;Moon in water& #39; from the underrated & #39;Barking& #39; https://youtu.be/FkOz_Ejuzyo ">https://youtu.be/FkOz_Ejuz...
For an Easter #BoxedIn it can only be a few offerings from @TheMaryChain ... wish I still had the superb & #39;Power of Negative Thinking& #39; B-sides and rarities 4-disc set.
Choice of song: guess it has to be & #39;April Skies& #39; https://youtu.be/KYWAj_xnjTk ">https://youtu.be/KYWAj_xnj...
A bit of 1950s punk and rockabilly for today& #39;s #BoxedIn
This @Rhino_Records set got me into rockabilly (along with a brilliant @keb_darge @cutchemist compilation).
Track could be anything with Grady Martin guitar; but I& #39;ll go for Ronnie Hawkins instead https://youtu.be/eAPkxFfLt20 ">https://youtu.be/eAPkxFfLt...
An Easter Sunday #BoxedIn has to be a spiritual man... the great @JohnnyCash and his & #39;Unearthed& #39; collection.
Song: for Coronavirus times I& #39;ll go for his version of & #39;We& #39;ll meet again& #39; https://youtu.be/KodNFsP6r88 ">https://youtu.be/KodNFsP6r...
A bonus #BoxedIn today, in the form of a new delivery from @factorybenelux ... & #39;The Other Two& #39;, aka @stephenpdmorris and @gillian_gilbert
Here& #39;s & #39;Selfish& #39; https://youtu.be/49LBrMmJU4c ">https://youtu.be/49LBrMmJU...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is & #39;G stands for Go-Betweens& #39; on @Dominorecordco - complete with book from Grant McLennan& #39;s collection.
Have downloaded the songs but not even opened it yet. Saving it for a special treat if lockdown gets a bit much...
Song; & #39;I& #39;m alright& #39; https://youtu.be/xlgHlXixiKs ">https://youtu.be/xlgHlXixi...
For today& #39;s #BoxedIn it& #39;s three of many potential entries from @thecure ... thinking back to my best day of 2018.
And for the song choice... well it has to be this really, doesn& #39;t it? https://youtu.be/uNrMKbXGF-U ">https://youtu.be/uNrMKbXGF...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is & #39;PopArt& #39; from @petshopboys
The song is & #39;Liberation& #39;... perhaps just because I& #39;m thinking of all the journalists who seem obsessed with asking the govt when / how lockdown will & #39;end& #39;... https://youtu.be/vtlM1F8guPc ">https://youtu.be/vtlM1F8gu...
Another @CherryRedGroup for my #BoxedIn thread... it& #39;s & #39;Forever breathes the lonely word& #39; and & #39;Me and a monkey on the moon& #39; from Felt.
Song for our times has to be & #39;Free& #39;... can& #39;t find the video but have this piano cover https://youtu.be/3bJyhdnh5wM ">https://youtu.be/3bJyhdnh5...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is from @thestoneroses ...obviously a classic, but oddly I rarely listen to it these days. I& #39;m more likely to put on & #39;Second coming& #39;. Just makes me TOO nostalgic, maybe?
Song choice: a Mint Royale remix https://youtu.be/w7AJW9InYWo ">https://youtu.be/w7AJW9InY...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is the complete studio albums collection from Leonard Cohen.

But I know from your eyes
And I know from your smile
That tonight will be fine,
Will be fine, will be fine, will be fine
For a while.

https://youtu.be/0FXklz1tOy4 ">https://youtu.be/0FXklz1tO...
Is this a boxset, and therefore suitable for inclusion in my #BoxedIn thread? If anyone has a definitive view on that it& #39;s likely to be @PaulHeatonSolo ...I think probably not tbh but I love this album so much.
& #39;Flag day& #39; seems somehow appropriate... https://youtu.be/6UAezObr_dQ ">https://youtu.be/6UAezObr_...
It& #39;s @nickcave for today& #39;s #BoxedIn
"In the end it is beauty that is going to save the world"
https://youtu.be/JquzYr-5bE4 ">https://youtu.be/JquzYr-5b...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is in honour of @weddingpresent David Gedge& #39;s 60th, and a great livestream the other night. Have just spent an hour putting together a Gedge playlist which is 600 songs long... and all the songs don& #39;t sound the same.
My son is about to be denied the post-GCSE-summer-rite-of-passage I had, i.e. alternating between working in McDonalds and sitting in the back of a Transit van in a field listening to @Orbinfo Peel Sessions...so here& #39;s a #BoxedIn Huge Ever-Growing Brain... https://youtu.be/w_m4FbA9WyM ">https://youtu.be/w_m4FbA9W...
During these challenging times, aren& #39;t many of us tempted to retreat into childhood pleasures, rediscovering the familiar music of programmes we loved? I wouldn& #39;t bother, it& #39;s actually a bit rubbish.
#BoxedIn
Another band I don& #39;t often listen to these days for today& #39;s #BoxedIn ...but they were capable of such tenderness and beauty https://youtu.be/kVUQHxuE93k ">https://youtu.be/kVUQHxuE9...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is from Stephen Jones AKA @xbabybird ...to be honest I don& #39;t even know if it& #39;s any good because I have never had the 3" CD adaptor!
So I will go for & #39;Song for the functioning alcoholic& #39; as my lockdown choice... https://youtu.be/_bD3a3q9mWs ">https://youtu.be/_bD3a3q9m...
Ahead of a second Guy Chadwick livestream this Sat, it& #39;s another @CherryRedGroup #BoxedIn - this time from The House of Love. This is the 5CD version and 3CD (bought years after the single CD version... and the vinyl).
Song is one for @alexanderhaslam https://youtu.be/bN1jlRNPdqE ">https://youtu.be/bN1jlRNPd...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is from @PIXIES on @4AD_Official ... and I& #39;ll go for & #39;Into the white& #39; as the song choice... "there ain& #39;t no day, and there ain& #39;t no night" https://youtu.be/vePruhKa5TQ ">https://youtu.be/vePruhKa5...
Ahead of this eve& #39;s #roughtradetx live set from @Andybebop today& #39;s #BoxedIn is @rideox4 & #39;Nowhere& #39; - in 20th and 25th anniversary versions!
Song choice: Sennen https://youtu.be/_4FjWtH83Ho ">https://youtu.be/_4FjWtH83...
Should have added this!
Trying to avoid returning to the same band in this #BoxedIn thread, but as yesterday was 31 years since & #39;Disintegration& #39; it& #39;s back to @thecure ...song choice has to be my favourite ever use of music in film I think... @Marvel https://youtu.be/-TsqVnyZiHM ">https://youtu.be/-TsqVnyZi...
Yet another @CherryRedGroup offering for #BoxedIn today - a repackaging / expansion of C86.
In 1986 I was listening to a lot of @OfficialOMD and @billybragg when this NME compilation smashed open all sorts of doors for me... https://youtu.be/GJNAGPBitc4 ">https://youtu.be/GJNAGPBit...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is the third in my thread from @4AD_Official - this one from @thebreeders
Drivin& #39; on 9 https://youtu.be/GPGGDFt1D2c ">https://youtu.be/GPGGDFt1D...
I& #39;ll admit that I& #39;ve had to dip into the thousands of CDs in the garage for today& #39;s #BoxedIn ... it& #39;s Lefty Frizzell on @properrecords
https://youtu.be/oQqlMoqebnY ">https://youtu.be/oQqlMoqeb...
My #BoxedIn thread may feature anything with the word & #39;deluxe& #39;, more than one CD, or cardboard.
Here& #39;s @Blue_Aeroplanes on @UMusicuk
Favourite track is & #39;Careful boy& #39;, but here I& #39;ll go for & #39;...and stones& #39; https://youtu.be/GXmVn3oqthE ">https://youtu.be/GXmVn3oqt...
Released 41 years ago today, it& #39;s @thecure again for #BoxedIn ... & #39;Three imaginary boys& #39;.
Song choice: I& #39;ll go for & #39;Jumping someone else& #39;s train& #39;, but the live version from one of the gigs of my life https://youtu.be/iB89oRLp2_0 ">https://youtu.be/iB89oRLp2...
Another @lightintheattic offering for today& #39;s #BoxedIn ... Native North America Vol 1, aboriginal folk rock and country 1965-1985. Worth it for the book alone.
& #39;We got to take you higher& #39; by Willie Thrasher https://youtu.be/zZGSp0iBb4w ">https://youtu.be/zZGSp0iBb...
Back to @neworder for an & #39;On this day& #39; entry to my #BoxedIn thread... & #39;Temptation& #39; was released 38 years ago today. Two mixes on the bonus CD of the deluxe & #39;Movement& #39; (really must get the proper & #39;Movement& #39; box...).

But I& #39;ll go for a @ChemBros live version https://youtu.be/Tk1C-MKMA2g ">https://youtu.be/Tk1C-MKMA...
Again stretching the definition of & #39;Boxset& #39;, but this is from the deluxe notebook version of one of my favourite albums of all time (and not just because my friend @thisisballroom plays on it)... it& #39;s & #39;Palindrome hunches& #39; from @neilhalstead
#BoxedIn https://youtu.be/5wxG82aC8sM ">https://youtu.be/5wxG82aC8...
Yet another @CherryRedGroup #BoxedIn entry that could have been made for me... & #39;Still in a dream: A story of shoegaze& #39;.

So many brilliant tracks, well known and deeper cuts. I have to go for a band I& #39;m mildly obsessed by - Ultra Vivid Scene @4AD_Official
https://youtu.be/AxGI68P_yk0 ">https://youtu.be/AxGI68P_y...
Already did one #BoxedIn post from @underworldlive - the kings of the boxset. But I left off this phenomenal contribution from last year. And I& #39;m not kidding when I say that the MP3s they toss away as extras are worthy of boxsets on their own, e.g. this https://youtu.be/kbgPSAZzlHA ">https://youtu.be/kbgPSAZzl...
Again stretching the #BoxedIn definition but there& #39;s cardboard and the word & #39;special& #39;, so sue me...
It& #39;s @beth_orton and a good excuse to share this beauty https://youtu.be/HSV3FSNRDD4 ">https://youtu.be/HSV3FSNRD...
I do indeed love country #BoxedIn

Have to get @Sarah_Records into my #BoxedIn thread (especially as Clare is doing a great lockdown thread herself).

Sarah were not the boxset types. But here are a few Field Mice @the0rchids @EvenAsWeSpeak @SarahRecordsDoc and Brighter & #39;deluxe& #39;-ish sets issued elsewhere since...
...And there& #39;s this beauty of course...
Everyone needs some Elvis in a #BoxedIn thread... & #39;Tomorrow is a long time& #39; https://youtu.be/0dRNZZuuR8I ">https://youtu.be/0dRNZZuuR...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is this beautiful @slowdiveband tribute on @morrmusic from 2002
Song choice is & #39;40 days& #39; covered by @lalipuna_ https://youtu.be/c2_jxrwc1TM ">https://youtu.be/c2_jxrwc1...
Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is the deluxe edition of & #39;Deserter& #39;s songs& #39; by @mercuryrevvd ...and this beautiful song & #39;Endlessly& #39; https://youtu.be/IANhibmi8I4 ">https://youtu.be/IANhibmi8...
As @radiohead fans go I& #39;m not the biggest, but & #39;The bends& #39; deserves a place in my #BoxedIn thread - and in particular, & #39;Bones& #39; https://youtu.be/tCBq1JBbzk4 ">https://youtu.be/tCBq1JBbz...

Today& #39;s #BoxedIn is the second Lee Hazlewood entry. The song... & #39;Pour man& #39;

"If God is watching when I pay for my sin.
Tell him I& #39;m sorry but I& #39;ll do it again."

https://youtu.be/lTr67jL99FQ ">https://youtu.be/lTr67jL99...
For today& #39;s #BoxedIn I& #39;m back to @morrmusic and & #39;A number of small things& #39;, mostly because it& #39;s the closest to & #39;deluxe& #39; way to feature @seabearband in this thread... & #39;The ghost that carried us away& #39; may be the greatest & #39;lost& #39; album of all time
