Permanent Record: Al In The Box

Permanent Record: Al In The Box is a four-CD box set that collects Weird Al’s favorite songs from his first eight albums into one collection. It was released by Scotti Brothers Records so they could make monetary projections for the fiscal year.

In addition to the songs from the previous albums, it also includes the Capitol Records version of “My Bologna”, a version of “Happy Birthday" that was previously released on the Another One Rides The Bus EP, the single edit version of “UHF” and a new single, Headline News”.

Despite its critical success, the box set ended up being one of Weird Al’s least-purchased albums. It went out of print in 2006 due to Al’s new label, Volcano Records, losing the album art.
