Randall RobertsIt's pretty great, this new 3 CD, 1 DVD boxed set from Jane's Addiction. The highly anticipated set, which comes out Tuesday, April 21, contains some of the legendary LA band's earliest recordings — marvelous Radio Tokyo studio demos — and a ton of other out takes, as well as covers of Sly and the Family Stone (the incendiary duet with Ice T), the Stooges, the Doors, and Led Zeppelin. We got it in the mail today, and it arrived on the desk like a brick. What's this? “JA”? Curious.
