Due to the design and construction of this box set some LP jackets may have small dents on the spine and opening edges and thin smudges of black ink across the front and/or back. None of these flaws affect the vinyl records.
(6-LP + 2-12" set) 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 double vinyl 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. Limited edition of 1,500. 15 pounds total shipping weight.
