48

STEREOLAB "Dots and Loops" Double LP. Vinyl is graded NM. This is the rare first US pressing (1997) on Drag City (DC-140) with one white LP and one marbled blue/green LP. 
From my personal collection. I’m a lifelong record collector and it’s been housed in temperature-controlled, smoke-free conditions for years. Sleeve is VG+.
A beautiful copy. Produced by John McEntire of Tortoise, The Sea and Cake, and Bastro.
Shipping in the US is $3.99 via USPS Media Mail. If you’d like expedited shipping we can discuss. I will ship internationally for a fee, via eBay international standard delivery.
Check out my other listings for more rare ‘90s indie rock from the Louisville, Chicago, Olympia, and DC scenes. I may be posting titles slowly, so reach out if there’s anything specific you might be looking for.
Thanks for taking a look!
