If you have a Daft Punk fanatic in the family and are struggling for Christmas present ideas for them, then struggle no more!
The French electro duo have announced details of a very smart looking boxset of their recent fourth album Random Access Memories, which is crammed full of goodies and is set to hit shelves / websites in time for the Christmas rush.
The only drawback is that the boxset is priced at about £175 – so it’s not exactly cheap!
Here’s the impressive list of contents in full:
