For Record Store Day 2017, the immortal George Clinton released a stunning box set recorded during P-Funk’s residency at London’s Metropolis Studios featuring live cut track and marks the 40th anniversary of George Clinton’s band Parliament’s Chocolate City LP.

Client

Metropolis Music Limited, founded in 1985. Design consultation from award winning graphic designer Jon Daniel.

What's In The Box

Gold foiled, rigid board chocolate style box containing two 12” brown and white marbled vinyl with five live to vinyl cut tracks, a double CD of the live performance and a full live concert DVD, 12” foldout infographic poster and chocolate box style padded separators. Discs are all held in a bespoke vacuum formed black tray to mimic the style of a chocolate box.

What We Did

Jon Daniel and Metropolis had a clear vision in mind, and this vision was to create a box set that mirrored the exactly style of a classic box of chocolates. We help finesse this concept into a reality by sourcing the padded separators which was a a challenge in itself as these are typically ordered in extremely large quantities, but we found a small UK based company who were able to assist and it's a similar story for the black vacuum formed disc tray. Every detail for this box was considered and executed resulting in a stunning box set that matched the clients vision.
