To mark the 25th anniversary of Vanessa Daou's landmark 1994 solo debut 'Zipless (Songs From the Works of Erica Jong)', DRKR Records (in partnership with Daou Records and KID Recordings) is offering this exclusive 'Zipless 25' special collector's edition bundle.

'Zipless 25' tells the story of Daou's much-vaunted feminist opus/collaboration with pioneering feminist/poet/novelist Erica Jong through a cherry-picked selection of original and recently-commissioned releases and rare archival ephemera sourced exclusively from Vanessa's personal archives.The set offers a concise snapshot of the classic album's remarkable (and seemingly inconceivable) metamorphosis - from ambitious, independently-released concept album with a niche cult following to seminal, globally-revered masterpiece and major label crossover success.

STRICTLY LIMITED TO 6 COPIES WORLDWIDE, the exclusive bundle includes:

• 'Zipless' Vinyl LP:
Issued on vinyl for the first time, this limited edition LP was remastered from the original analog source tapes and pressed on heavyweight audiophile 180 gram black vinyl. The LP includes lyric sheet insert, collectible fold-out 11" x 22" poster print and digital download card.

• 'Zipless' Lotus Records CD:
The factory sealed, long-deleted original 1994 Lotus Records CD

• 'Zipless Bootleg Rehearsal Tapes' CD + Digital Download:
A collection of rare live rehearsal recordings of songs from Vanessa Daou's landmark solo debut 'Zipless (Songs From the Works of Erica Jong)'. Culled from several archival cassette tapes recorded during the summer of 1995, the riveting 15-track set captures Daou - and her 6-piece live band - in preparation for her upcoming ‘Zipless’ World Tour, where she was the supporting act for Ziggy Marley, Jamiroquai and Gang Starr co-founder Guru’s seminal Jazzmatazz solo project. The recordings offer fans a rare intimate glimpse into the raw underpinnings of Vanessa's innovative and singular sonic brew: a harmonious hybrid of smokey jazz, sultry urban electronica, spacious ambient pop, soul, dance, spoken word and lounge.
