This is the very limited 180 gram bottle green vinyl version.
As with all Jealous Butcher vinyl releases this double LP is being pressed on 180 gram virgin vinyl. It will have a lovely gatefold sleeve with some stunning photo's taken by Mr. Alexander S. Wolinetz on the interior. It contains the vinyl only bonus track "Blues Run The Game".
This album is a 15 song set documenting the leader of The Decemberists 2006 solo trek across the US. The set runs the length and breadth of Meloy’s songwriting career, covering his days as part of Missoula’s Tarkio, up through the current Decemberists catalog. Colin’s charmingly awkward stage banter, coupled with the passion and introspection given to the songs in this solo live context make this record a wonderful view into the songwriters creative world.
These recordings were culled from a two week national tour in 2006. They were recorded by Rich Hipp, who also was the live sound engineer for the tour. The songs were mixed and assembled by Tucker Martine at his house with the able assistance of Messrs. Hipp and Meloy.
