I know there are probably a billion of these, but 2 always stood out for me:

David Sylvian - "Weatherbox"


quote:


Only 5000 copies were produced in 1989 and they quickly sold out


I had my hands on a box for $100 back in the early 90s and the seller flaked out on me


4AD - "Lonely is an Eyesore" Wooden Box




quote:

CAD703X is a deluxe wooden box, a limited edition of 100, containing all the different editions of Lonely Is An Eyesore (vinyle, cassette and CD)and some additional prints.
About the box: 30 were released for sale (£200 each directly from 4AD), 70 were given away to the bands, distibutors of 4AD material and others. The prints were rather expensive, bringing the cost of production of the box up to £500. There are two prints, one 15×20 cm (etching) by Jinny McGarrity, where small details differ from box to box. The other is larger, 100x200cm (by Terry Dowling), printed on rice paper. The prints were wrapped in a sealed plastic-like paper.




and there you have it - SPOILERS about my username - the circle is complete.
