The Weatherbox deserves a place of it's own. It was a regular release, but rare and of extreme beauty.

Weatherbox pictures from Graphic Beat

1989, Virgin DSCD1

One of the major collector items available. The box itself is a piece of art (design by Russell Mills) and with the 5 CD retrospective it's the ultimate object on the mantelpiece of the David Sylvian collector. Each CD has a new artwork inlay, combined with printed artwork on the jewel-case itself, which gives a complete new image. Printed above are the inlays itself (no jewel-case artwork included).
Besides the CD's, there's a poster and a booklet with credits and liner notes. The Japanese edition has an extra Japanese booklet (superior to the domestic version if you ask me). The 5 CD's are: Brilliant Trees, Alchemy (Words With the Shaman, The Stigma Of Childhood (Kin), A Brief Conversation Ending In Divorce and Steel Cathedrals), Gone To Earth, Gone To Earth instrumental and
Secrets Of The Beehive (without Forbidden Colours or Promise). Notice the missing of Pop Song ;-)
Note: 6th picture is loaned from the old Russell Mills' Soup site.

The Japanese Weatherbox box come with an additional 54 page booklet. The covers can be fold-out. This is a typical Japanese style book; all lyrics printed in Japanese and English with additional liner-notes and a lot of photos include from artwork of Russell Mills. Scattered all over the booklet there are 4 paintings of Mills used. Additional photography of David's portrait is by Alistar Thain. Art direction and design of the book is by Shinro Ohtake and Katsuhiro Kinoshita. Great book and a must-have for the completist!
