"K25 Time Capsule" is a boxset by Kylie Minogue. It was released in 2012 as part of Kylie's 25th Anniversary Celebrations, and featured most singles of her career up to that point.
Background
In 2012, Kylie celebrated her 25th year in the music industry, and as a result, announced that she would be releasing special material to fans on the 25th of each month, and at the beginning of each month, would have a "#TweetToUnlock" where fans would have to tweet or post a specific hashtag a certain amount of times in order to unlock the material of that month. These included videos from Kylie's Anti Tour (also launched as a K25 treat), Kylie's performance at the 2012 Mardi Gras, an Abbey Road performance of "Slow" and "Come into My World", and a video chronology of "The Loco-Motion" in July, to mark the 25th birthday of the song.
Of Kylie's 63 singles at the time, 49 five were chosen. These included "The Loco-Motion", "Hand on Your Heart", "Better the Devil You Know", "Give Me Just a Little More Time", "Confide in Me", "Spinning Around", "Can't Get You Out of My Head", "Slow", "2 Hearts", "All the Lovers" and "Timebomb".
Release and Reception
The box set was released as the September edition of "K25", and was announced in August 2012. Tim Sendra from AllMusic said that the box set was "a great and unique way for fans to collect all of Kylie's hits, and that it would look super cute on the shelf".
