Weird Al Yankovic Squeeze Box Is His Complete Works In An Accordion

Since 1983, pop culture has known no more charismatic, endearing historian of parody than “Weird” Al Yankovic. For a fleeting limited time, you can pre-order an exclusive commemorative edition of his 15-album retrospective boxed set “Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of ‘Weird’ Al Yankovic” and partake in a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of the musical-mockery master’s indelible mark on entertainment as we’ve known it.
This career-chronicling compilation remastered for CD and 150-gram vinyl travels inside an identical replica of Yankovic’s signature accordion alongside a 100-page book of never-before-seen memorabilia and photos from the artist’s satiric sojourn spanning four decades. In addition to Weird Al’s 14 previous studio albums, the collection also includes “Medium Rarities,” an album of unreleased non-album tracks personally curated by Yankovic himself.
