The Tru Thoughts record label has announced a new fifteenth anniversary boxset, for which it is taking pre-orders via PledgeMusic.

Limited to 500 copies, at £50 each, the box includes three twelve-inch records cut into fifteen-sided shapes (pentadecagonals, if you like), plus two CDs, a book and cover artwork by graffiti artist Aroe. There’s music too, of course. Tracks featured are culled from the labels now extensive back catalogue, with artists including Bonobo, Quantic, Alice Russell, the Hot 8 Brass Band, Rodney P and the recently approved Lost Midas.

Label founder Robert Luis said: “Our fifteenth anniversary is a chance for us to take stock and celebrate how far we’ve come, but also to look forward with excitement for the future, so it feels fitting to be pushing on and doing something that has not been done before. The platform that PledgeMusic offers is an important part of the modern music industry. We’re extremely happy to be their first label partner and to have their help in bringing our fans a unique set of memorabilia that they can treasure. On which note, I can’t thank all the artists enough for all the weird and most definitely wonderful offerings they have come up with, and the effort they have personally put into it all”.

You can order your copy ready for its 20 Oct ship date here. Or you can just gaze at this video detailing the contents and the creation of the cover art:
