This Is a Message to Persons Unknown: The Story of Poison Girls by Rich Cross, edited by Erin Yanke, and designed by Alec Dunn presents the full story of an unparalleled group of radical musicians and artists who saw in punk the opportunity not just to rage against the machine but to create something new and extraordinary. It's a 320-page, beautifully designed full-color, large-format book with hundreds of photos, posters, record sleeves, and rare ephemera drawn from the personal archives of band members.
The Poison Girls - Persons Unknown: The Complete Recorded History is a SEVEN CD box set that comes with a fully illustrated, full-color 96-page booklet and brings together all of their studio and live albums, all of the singles, plus demos of unreleased tracks from early in the band's career, as well as live and home recordings from the final years of the band's life–none of which have been released before now. For those new to Poison Girls to longtime fans, this complete catalog provides the perfect soundtrack to accompany the book.
The costs to produce the book and box set are quite high, so we need your help to bring them into the world.
