Muse / Origin of Muse box set

Showbiz and Origins of Symmetry remastered • Unreleased demos • B-sides • Early EPs • Live performances • 13-disc box features 9 CDs & 4LPs


Muse will release a massive vinyl/CD box set called Origin of Muse in November. This package will chronicle the band’s earliest days through to their breakthrough album Origin Of Symmetry.

The box set features nine CDs, four coloured vinyl records and offers 113 tracks in total with 40 of those previously unreleased. Rare audio includes early demos, first EPs, B-sides, live performances and more. This content is spread across the nine CDs. The coloured vinyl records (ocean blue, light blue, orange and yellow) feature the two studio albums remastered.

All the vinyl and CD content is housed in a 48-page ‘casebound’ book which is slots into a rigid board outer slipcase with anti-scratch and matte laminated finish with a spot gloss. The vinyl resides in four special pockets in the book (two at the front and two at the back).



The book contains an extensive and in-depth interview with Matt Bellamy, Dominic Howard and Chris Wolstenholme (conducted by Mark Beaumont) where they talk about the beginnings of the band, and the recording and release of their debut album Showbiz through Origin of Symmetry.  The volume also boasts many ‘inserts’ such as setlists, photos, posters and contact sheets which can be pulled out from the book.

Origin of Muse is released on 6 December 2019. Pre-order from the SDE shop via this link or the button below.
