Did I say deluxe box set? I meant "Luxury Edition Deluxe Set," a tasteful goodie bag that includes the album and everything other album-related thing you could want except for a hologram of Julian Casablancas so he could perform in your living room; it's all available here. You get a signed book with lyrics and photos, a vinyl LP of Phrazes for the Young, CDs, a DVD of performances and interviews, and it all comes in a swanky wooden box for $89.95, plus shipping and handling.

Deluxe box sets are the latest way for musicians to make money since Internet freeloaders have tried to destroy the business by listening to too much music. Casablancas is following in the footsteps of Radiohead, who offered a similiar kind of box set for In Rainbows, except Casablancas isn't offering a digital version Phrazes for the Young for free (er, a voluntary donation).

The box set will ship by Dec. 18, but buyers will get a digital download on the album's release date, which is Nov. 3 in the U.S. on RCA/Cult.
