This listing is for the limited edition deluxe version of Géométries Sous-Cutanées. Each of these unique packages, in an edition of only 60 hand-numbered copies, comes in the form of re-purposed, 50 year old “Great Men Of Music” classical music box set…from the Time Life series of that name.

Each 13”x13”x1” heavy duty slip case box comes covered on the front with an archival, and high resolution image taken from the standard version cover artwork by Caroline Lysiak. These are printed on the highest quality heavy-weight, archival Moab, Rag Natural papers, and each is then supplemented with individually and abstractly sewn thread in guise of flowing hair. The reverse side and spine of each box is covered in a uniquely different, elegant vintage wallpaper. The inner slip case of each box is covered on both sides with vintage photographic prints of exotic sea shells, which are then supplemented with bits of the outer wallpapers found on each particular box. Inside each box the two individually sleeved records come in a sewn, golden fabric bag with fold down flap. There is a large, hand printed and stamped insert on the same papers, that is also threaded for easy removal from the box, and hung with a unique tag for easy removal. Also included is an 11x11 insert with the cover art on one side and French text's for the songs Lovesick and Jetlag on the opposite side. After being wrapped in a matching wallpaper obi strip, each box comes in an archival, protective outer mylar sleeve.

Matrix # on side D does appear double as the later half rotates off onto the run out groove.

There's also a tiny sub-edition of this deluxe version called "French Edition" available only from Catherine Watine herself. It includes 4 releases of her backcatalogue to free choice of the purchaser. This edition is limited to 3 copies only.
