The Avett Brothers - Magpie and the Dandelion out Oct. 15th


Recommended Posts

What was included in the previous albums that made them deluxe? I'm about to pick up I and Love and You and want to make sure it's worth it haha

 

I & Love & You - Came in a linen box.  Instead of the gatefold cover the sleeves go in the box.  The art on the sleeves were also different from the sleeves in the 2xLP version.  Included CD, CD of demos, bandanna, and a bunch of pictures of the band/ artwork from Avetts.  First 1000 came with autographed print.

 

The Carpenter - Came in a wooden box.  No difference in the actual 2xLP.  With a calendar, CD of demos, pictures of the band.  First 500 came with autographed print.  First 1000 came with 7" Live & Die with B-side - The Clearness is Gone.  That 7" was also given out with purchase at Indie Stores.

Also with Emotionalism the first few hundred were colored.

 

Yeah, and I was at the NYE show where they sold them... VERY bummed I didn't think to buy one there. (The print from that show is framed on my living room wall.) I've never seen one for sale... Sure they would probably go for $400 or more.

That said, the first pressing of Emotionalism was defective... Ugly high-end distortion throughout. Seth confirmed as much last time we talked. The new easily available pressing sounds great.

Also, they HOPE to have a Gleam I&II vinyl set out soon... But that won't be til 2014 at the earliest.

sick.. I almost dropped stupid money on Gleam 2 the other day (which I've heard is underwhelming in the sound department)

I really do hope Gleam II gets repressed(both, really). I've got one colored copy of Emitionalism, and hope to get all three soon, but I'm just excited to have whatever I can from them on vinyl/cd/digital. They can turn a horrible day around pretty quickly for me.

Almost considered the same thing. I will now gladly wait knowing they will eventually (re)press them as a set.
