If there’s one thing that can always be said about Rammstein, it’s that they have impressive packaging. And no, we’re not talking about their dildo box set. And while we know we’re getting a new album from them eventually now that they’re starting to write for it, that’s still a ways off. So if you want to listen to Rammstein instead of watching their DVD, they’ve still got something lined up for the holiday season – a vinyl box set commemorating their first 21 years as a band.
The 21st Anniversary Box Set will compile all six of their studio albums remastered for 180g vinyl. However, there will also be a separate rarities double-album, Raritaten, that will consist of 16 tracks from their singles, fan-edition releases and a previously-unreleased version of the track “Los.” The box set will be the first opportunity to own four of their six albums on vinyl: Herzeleid, Sehnsucht, Reise Reise and Rosenrot.
At $350, the box set will not come cheap, but if you’re a Rammstein completist, du hast to pick up a copy when it’s out on December 4th. Here’s the track listing for the Raritaten album:
