Box is de eerste boxset van de Amerikaanse indie rockband Guided by Voices. De set is een verzameling van alle albums die zijn uitgebracht bij Scat Records. Het omvat Devil Between My Toes (1987), Sandbox (1987), Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia (1989), Same Place the Fly Got Smashed (1990), Propeller (1992, alleen op lp) en het album King Shit and the Golden Boys (1995) met nooit eerder uitgegeven materiaal.^[1] De boxset werd op 28 februari 1995 uitgebracht op cd en lp.

Ontvangst

Stephen Erlewine van AllMusic gaf de boxset een score van 3,5 van 5. Hij noemde Box een "intimidating listen" voor zowel beginners als fans. Erlewine vatte de eerste twee albums in de boxset (Devil Between My Toes en Sandbox) samen als ongepolijste versies van R.E.M.'s debuutalbum Murmur (1983). Op de volgende twee albums, Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia en Same Place the Fly Got Smashed, hoorde hij "British Invasion-inspired abbreviated pop" terug.^[2]
