Sealed. RSD 2025.

The Blasters are one of the bedrock acts that formed the template for the "Americana" music movement in the 1980s. Since their inception in 1979, the core members of the band have been Phil Alvin and his younger brother, principal songwriter and guitarist Dave Alvin, drummer Bill Bateman and bassist John Bazz.

The box set consists of the band's four studio albums - American Music, The Blasters, Non Fiction and Hard Line - along with a bonus disc of rarities. The 5 LP set is packaged inside a hard cover slip case box with a 24-page book featuring extensive liner notes by music journalist Chris Morris and interviews with the band members. Includes rare photos from the band's personal collection with memorabilia and collector's item images, along with a rare promotional poster for the Non Fiction album. The hand-numbered set will be limited to 1,000 copies and available only in the US. A must have for fans of the legendary American music band.
