A Cabinet of Curiosities
A Cabinet of Curiosities is a compilation box set from the alternative rock band Jane's Addiction, released through Rhino in April 2009.
It arrived between the band's studio albums Strays, from 2003, and The Great Escape Artist, from 2011. That places it after the two records that first defined them, Nothing's Shocking and Ritual de lo habitual, and makes it a way to look back over their work while the band was still active. For anyone who knows those early albums well, it offers a chance to revisit Jane's Addiction in a collected form.
