Damon Albarn recently revealed that he has 40 to 45 tracks leftover from the recording sessions for Gorillaz’s new album, Humanz. At least some of those tracks will apparently surface in a super deluxe vinyl box set for Humanz.
Due for release on August 25th, the box set presents Humanz across 14 individual pieces of 12-inch colored vinyl. Each vinyl features an album track, backed with an exclusive alternate version on the flip side. An Amazon listing has now revealed the tracklist. Of the 14 bonus tracks included are new collaborations with Azekel, Little Simz, Syrian singer Faia Younan, and Mali-born Mandé kora player and jali Sidiki Diabate. There’s also an alternate version of “Charger” sung by The Selecter’s Pauline Black in lieu of Grace Jones, plus several tracks without features, including “Colombians”, “Duetz”, “Grilling With His Face”, and “Transformerz”.
The box set also includes a 54-page hardback book of Gorillaz artwork, housed in a bespoke 12-inch vinyl case. The price tag for the box set is a whopping £274.99 and the pre-sale allotment is already sold out. Whether or not the bonus tracks will be made available in a standalone release — à la 2002’s G Sides or 2007’s D Sides — remains to be seen.
