'Tis the season for limited edition releases...like a new box set of 8-track tapes of Oh Sees albums, released on Monday Nov. 25 by 5Seven Records.

The unique box set featues 12-albums recorded between 2008-2018 with 12 tapes in total, a zine, and extra packaging to fit the theme.

The label says:

Only 100 hand numbered boxsets were made with only 60 going up for sale to the public. It took us well over a year to make these 100 sets, so this is the first and final edition of this massive boxset. Every 8-track cart in this collection was reconditioned by hand from 40+ year old cartridges and each album is on a specific color and hand numbered cartridge. No expense was spared making this limited boxset with original artwork by ELZO DURT, and which includes 130 songs and over 8 hours 21 minutes of music. The release includes a 36 page zine (with the making of the release, 8-track history, album information, band posters and more), a limited edition 5"x7" photo signed by JPD, & some extra goodies (3" patch, stickers, buttons).

Thee Oh Sees are a band I’ve heard peripherally for the past couple of years but never got jumping in on a full-length. Compound that with their … Read more

Tomlab/Cast-Face (2008)

Stumbling upon this band after reading an intriguing interview (albeit several years after it was initially published), I popped The Master's Bedroom is Worth Spending a Night In from Thee Oh Sees in my stereo expecting some acoustic lo-fi recordings. Instead, what I heard was a hundred times better as the "Block of Ice" exuberantly bounced out of the stereo … Read more
