New Yellow and Red (this) covers handscreened onto irresponsibly delicate Japanese paper in 2020.
“The Map” was originally issued by Portland label Archigramophone in 2000 and housed in a letterpressed, silkscreened jacket. As is often the case, the pressing plant shipped more LPs than the 500 copies ordered by the label, leaving a small batch of LPs without covers. These coverless LPs were recently discovered in a bedroom closet, and new covers hand silkscreened onto irresponsibly delicate Japanese paper. Half these copies were sent to the band members, the other half are available for sale via jabsjabsjabs.com.
A1, A3, A5, B8, B10 and B13 recorded February 29th 1996 at the Black Cat.
A2, A4, A6, A7, B9, B11 and B12 recorded June 16th 1996 at the Pirate House (the same session as
this version).
Credits are hand silkscreened onto the back and the interior of the irresponsibly delicate Japanese paper.
500 copies were pressed on 150g vinyl, a box of LPs without covers was discovered in a closet (this). The cat # does not appear on the release.
