The Saints; one of the most revered, reviled and talked about bands in all Australian music history announce a vinyl box set release of their bona-fide 1977 classic debut (I’m) Stranded.

The deluxe box set edition of (I’m) Stranded is a collaboration between long standing Los Angeles label In The Red and Universal Music Australia and is to be released November 15th. 

Here’s what you get…

** Four x LP’s covering all recordings, studio and live, from 1976-1977 including the previously unreleased 1976 mix of the album.

** 28 page 12” x 12” full colour photo essay

** Official band history

** 1976 promo photo

** (I’m) Stranded sticker

“It’s been an exhausting yet thrilling process being involved in the creation of this box set. It’s been 51 years in the making and has possibly turned out even better than I anticipated. It’s by far the most extensive appraisal of the band, both aurally and visually, that has ever been made available and hopefully reveals some things people may not have known about the band.” – Ed Kuepper
