The Pineapple Thief are releasing what’s being billed as the first in a series of lavish, limited-edition book sets cataloguing the band’s 24-year career to date.
Out on Kscope on June 23, the eight-disc set How Did We Find Our Way – 1999-2006 begins with Bruce Soord’s debut, one-man work under that name, 1999’s Abducting The Unicorn, and culminates with fifth album Little Man. Soord has also unearthed over 80 minutes of rare bonus material for the release, and unseen photos for the accompanying booklet.
“[Kscope co-founder] Tony Harris first put the idea to me,” Soord tells Prog, “and because they’re really, really good at doing these lavish, collectible box set things I said, ‘Great, let’s do it!’ We went right back to the start when I was with [prog label] Cyclops.”
