Samhain: Box Set CD Track Listing

A list by checkmate

Samhain Box Set (2000)
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box_Set_(Samhain)\n\nThe Samhain Box Set was released in 2000, more than 13 years after Samhain effectively ceased recording and performing. The set's five CDs and one VHS tape compile nearly all of the band's original catalogue, newly remastered for the original mastertapes, and a wealth of previously unreleased material, the latter of which includes a live CD and a VHS video cassette of live footage.\n\nOf Samhain's previous official releases, only the original mix of the Unholy Passion EP was not included in the Box Set; conjecture is that the original master tapes had been lost over the years, or were erased when Danzig re-recorded the guitar and some vocal tracks to those songs in June 1987.\n\nThe Box Set initially retailed at around $60.00 USD, and is now out of print. If pre-ordered online through distributor E-Magine Music's website, the first pressing of the Box Set was shipped two weeks prior to the street date, and was packaged with a bonus metal pin of the "scarecrow beast" character that appeared on Samhain T-shirts in the 1980s (similar to the one on the cover of the November-Coming-Fire album). In all pressings, each of the five CDs came in its own "mini-LP" sleeve within the box, but when they were re-released individually the following year, these sleeves were replaced with normal CD jewel-cases.\n\nAlso included in the Box Set was a comic book by Mr. Monster creator Michael T. Gilbert and a 32-page booklet of photographs and the lyrics to Discs One and Three. The outer box cover was painted by the late Martin Emond, who had done artwork for several other products from singer Glenn Danzig's post-Samhain band, Danzig.\n\nDisc Two marks the first time the remixed Unholy Passion EP was presented as a single CD on its own, though the contents had been added to the first CD pressing of Initium in 1987, and again to the original Final Descent in 1990. The original mix the of EP has never been released on CD, apart from unofficial/illegal bootlegs. \n\nEerie Von has confirmed that "Death...In Its Arms" was recorded during the sessions for Danzig's second album, Danzig II: Lucifuge, and features the full original Danzig lineup: Glenn Danzig, Eerie Von, John Christ, and Chuck Biscuits. \n\nThe title of "Death...In Its Arms" is misspelled on all releases (with an incorrect apostrophe in "it's"). \n\n"Lords of the Left Hand (2nd Version)" was actually recorded in September 1986, while the "original version" was not recorded until September 1987, and was not mixed in its final form until 1990. \n\nTracks 7 and 9 of Final Descent are incorrectly reversed on the CD sleeve. The correct order is listed above. \n
This newage cd contains 18 tracks and runs 52min 30sec.
