Sonic Agent - Jane's Addiction Compiling Collectible Box Set Of Rare Live Recordings

Jane's Addiction drummer Stephen Perkins is digging through the vaults with Warner Brothers, in search of some of the band's more uncommon live recordings. He's hoping to find a quality of collection to be packaged as a collector's item box set for release sometime this year. Billboard reported Perkins as saying:

"I'm partial to grabbing some live shows - live stuff that I recall being a really splendid night as far as the band having a good time on stage," he says, saying he'd favor shows featuring Bauhaus covers as opposed to routine versions of "Ted, Just Admit It" or "Ocean Size."

Billboard also reported:

"We're working on it," Perkins tells Billboard.com. "As far as the packaging and the content, it's going to be loaded. We're hoping to step it up into kind of a more 'collector's item' sort of situation. As far as the content, I've got a whole six or seven boxes full of stuff. We're going through it with Warner Bros., and seeing what's appropriate -- what's usable as far as, 'How far do we want to go with lo-fi?' In a perfect world, I would hope to see it out by the summer, but I don't think that's possible. Maybe fall."
