Orange and Sacramento, CA and NYC-based The City Drive Entertainment Group has announced it has completed the long-awaited customized project and has begun packing and shipping the landmark Alter Bridge X Box Set, the comprehensive limited-edition collection of music, film and publishing celebrating the tenth anniversary of the groundbreaking Orlando hard rock band, to fans. The more than 2000 fans that pre-ordered the box set can expect to begin receiving their packages by the end of the month.

“It was an incredible undertaking to put this hand-made collection together,” says Daniel Catullo, President of The City Drive Entertainment Group, the distributor of the box set. “We applaud the Alter Bridge fans who have waited for this collection so patiently—and sometimes not so patiently! But we’re guaranteeing that it’s been worth the time for this meticulously crafted collection to come to fruition.” Here’s a video of the actual process going on at City Drive:

Alter Bridge lead vocalist and guitarist Myles Kennedy says, “Alter Bridge X is both a fond look back and a great leap forward after ten years making music together. This collection rewards a precious few of our most ardent fans with almost every thing we’ve ever done—well, everything we want to share! It’s been a tremendous ten years and we look forward to ten more.”

Two hardcover coffee table books, printed in the USA and hand-assembled in Catullo’s Orange, CA office, are the piéce de resistance of the set. The first book features a story written by ArtistDirect editor-in-chief and lifelong music journalist Rick Florino, along with photos from renowned photographer Christie Goodwin, as well as numerous fans and photographers who donated some photos. It is beautifully bound with a metal medallion frontispiece and consists of over a hundred pages of exclusive photos and text reflecting on the band’s amazing ten-year career. Florino has chronicled the Alter Bridge’s formation, struggles and ascendancy, from their ups and downs and ups to their current state of media recognition and audience renown. The second book is hardcover as well and houses the CD’s, DVD’s , Blu-Rays and vinyl LP’s.
