for those curious, the box contents are

7" booklet

lightning bolt/sirens 33 1/3 rpm clear vinyl
pendulum/mym 45 rpm clear vinyl
infallible/future days 33 1/3 rpm black vinyl
my father's son/swallowed whole 45 rpm black vinyl
sleeping by myself/yellow moon 45 rpm red vinyl
let the records play/getaway 45 rpm red vinyl

each sleeve has the included songs' associated artwork on either side

no extra postcards or anything like that.

i think it's a cool little set.
ah, copperplate, a font for the truly modern man.

Any particular reason the songs are paired that way?

other than the 4 longest songs necessitating 33 rpm rather than 45 rpm, i'm not sure.

Pairing LTRP and Future Days would've resulted in a totally useless vinyl.

Would have saved 17% of the pressing cost.

No brainer.

Leave 'em out

The ability to handily excise all four of these from the album would certainly be welcome.

Maybe this is a pretty cool release after all!

Seriously, you don't like Infalliable or Yellow Moon? Yellow Moon is particular. I love it that song.

They're two of the better songs on LB, but opinions and stuff.
