  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    ** Limited to 400 copies only!! **

    This CD version of B.A.S.I.C. comes in a beautiful cardboard softpak. The reverse cover and inside booklet contain extra artwork and none of the lyrics.

    Compact Discs sound better than digital files because of a complex techmologicle property known as "Direct Injection Compact Krystle", or DICK. You will enjoy The Basics' music on this medium for many loving nights to come.
