DEATH CAB FOR CUTIE BARSUK YEARS BOX SET: All 13 LPs w/New DEMO MP3s Orig Outer

$

235

Here's the incredible 7 album box set from Death Cab For Cutie: The Barsuk Years. This is an extremely high-quality vinyl offering from Artists in Residence, which includes a sheet signed by all band members and is strictly limited to 1500 individually numbered sets. This set now comes with the newly released Transatlanticism Demo MP3's that are going to be included in the 10th Anniversary reissue released next week--11 demo tracks in all!

The set was originally produced with five mis-labeled vinyl LPs, but once that error was discovered, AinR sent replacement vinyl with the correct labels--so, this auction includes everything, all 13 12" 180g slabs.

Everything is sealed in the original packaging--the box set is in original shrink and includes the original outer cardboard box in which the set was shipped (that was only opened to take a photo of the set), check out the matching numbers. The replacement vinyl remains unopened in the original cardboard box (see photos).

Here's information from the Artists in Residence site:   

Only 1500 pieces. Individually numbered & signed by the band. Vinyl box set includes recordings never before available on vinyl.

This deluxe box set contains all of Death Cab for Cutie's early albums and E.P.s, some never before available on vinyl. All the records from the original 1997 cassette-only “demo” You Can Play These Songs With Chords (originally released via the band’s first label, Bellingham, WA-based Elsinor) through 2001’s The Stability E.P. have been re-mastered by Roger Seibel at SAE, bringing the audio quality of those pressings up to that of the band’s ground-breaking classic 2003 opus (and final studio release via Barsuk) Transatlanticism. Three releases in the package (You Can Play These Songs With Chords, The Stability E.P., and The Death Cab for Cutie Forbidden Love E.P.) are available for the first time on vinyl, only as a part of this box – the entire set is pressed on hefty, beautiful 180-gram vinyl. Each release is packaged individually in its own jacket with the album’s original artwork, and then collected snugly in an individually-numbered cloth-bound box and signed by the band.

BOX SET INCLUDES: 

- You Can Play These Songs With Cords (33 rpm; vinyl exclusive to this box set – jacket features original cassette artwork)
- Something About Airplanes (33 rpm; die-cut jacket and layered vellum insert)
- We Have the Facts and We're Voting Yes (33 rpm; die-cut jacket)
