Scottish dream-pop trio Cocteau Twins later this month will reissue their first three albums and a bonus EP on audiophile-quality, 180-gram vinyl in a super-limited 5LP box set with new artwork by 4AD’s famed Vaughan Oliver. Due out June 29 through Vinyl 180 and limited to 700 copies worldwide, Box Set 1 includes Garlands (1982), Head Over Heels (1983) and Treasure (1984) — the latter of which will be reissued individually for the first time that same day — plus a double LP set of Head Over Heels packaged with the band’s 1983 EP Sunburst and Snowblind, pressed on “dark violet coloured vinyl.”
