A CERTAIN RATIO, who celebrate their 40th anniversary this year â€“ have shared details of a new box set, ACR:BOX, out on Mute May 3 via vinyl, CD and digital formats. ACR:BOX was remastered by Martin Moscrop at Abbey Road studios. Featuring over 20 unreleased tracks, the box set will be available as a seven-piece colored vinyl set, a four-CD set and a digital album. Following on from 2018â€™s compilation, acr:set, the box showcases the diversity of the singles, B-sides and alternative versions of tracks that A Certain Ratio have released, but without repeating tracks recently made available. ACR:BOX collates everything that fans had been missing from the recent reissue campaign and compliments that with a selection found after a deep delve into the archive to find all the hidden gems that had been talked about over the years, but never heard. The box set marks the 40th anniversary of A Certain Ratioâ€™s debut release â€“ the Martin Hannett produced â€œAll Night Partyâ€ (Factory Recordsâ€™ first single release) â€“ which was described recently by Record Collector as â€œa statement of future intentions: to set funk off against nervous angst.â€ They went on to be hailed universally as pioneers of what became known as â€œpunk funkâ€. Their sound is not easily pigeon holed and their influence can never be understated. The band introduced the avant-garde elements of funk, jazz, electronics, tape loops and technology to the pop song, wrapping it in a post punk aesthetic.
