Four 180g black vinyl LPs housed in two gatefold jackets in a Tip-on cardboard slipcase. The vinyl edition includes a 20-page collector's booklet of lyrics, photos, comics, posters, and other ephemera.

Includes digital download card. Unravelled: 1981-2002 shines a loving light on lo-fi pioneers Tall Dwarfs, the prized New Zealand duo of Chris Knox and Alec Bathgate.

The collection, available as a 4-LP box set, compiles songs from Tall Dwarfs' two decades of recordings.

T The songs on Unravelled: 1981-2002 were curated by Alec Bathgate, who also designed the box set packaging; Chris Knox suffered a debilitating stroke in 2009 just as they had started work on a new album.

The collection captures the different sides of the Tall Dwarfs in 55 songs. Though the band was an excuse for two good friends who lived in different cities to get together, drink beer, watch shitty old movies, and do some recording and drawing, Tall Dwarfs created music unlike anyone else.

Capturing the initial excitement of creation and taking pride in what they did, Knox and Bathgate showed a whole generation of musicians what could be done at home on a 4-track and what magic could be made if you mixed pop melodies and hooks galore with homemade sounds.
