Guest drahtuos Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 here's from phil's own site: "KLP140: Mount Eerie (LP) by the Microphones This album was released by K in 2003. It’s the one that’s kind of one big piece of music, not really songs. 5 parts that form a loose narrative: I. the Sun, II. Solar System, III. Universe, IV. Mount Eerie, and V. Universe. The vinyl has been sold out for years but K just repressed 500 or so. Eventually we’re going to do a redesigned new package but for now here are some of the original LP designs. They are constructed out of sewn paper in triple gatefold sleeves with some drawings of old people and a picture of the mythological Mt. Eerie. USA: $15 / Canada: $17.50 / the World: $23" looks like its 15 instead of 10 like at k, weird. and he says they are sewn paper triple gates like the original. here's my thing, i own the original and there for don't care about this repress but phil does happen to mention that later they will be doing "a redesigned new package", they can for sure count me in when that becomes available considering i did that with both 'welcome nowhere' by thanksgiving and 'the glow pt. 2' by the microphones. the represses for both of those two albums by the way are incredible and i highly recommend picking them up.

nefariousfig Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Damn, so do this repress includes the hand-stitched covers as well? I just bought one off of eBay a few months ago, figuring any subsequent represses would probably not include that aspect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drahtuos Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 i actually think this isn't necessarily a repress and rather it's just leftovers from k's warehouse, i remember hearing a rumor that there were 500 or so lying around that they never sold and that they might sell em someday. after hearing that they repressed it in that same quantity and that they are also hand stitched makes me think the rumor was true. why would they repress and go to the effort of hand stitching all of them if they are planning a proper repress with a redesigned new package later? when someone on the board receives their new copy of mt. eerie they should post here whether or not it is indeed hand stitched.
