Today’s giveaway is The Barsuk Years, a vinyl box set of early Death Cab For Cutie releases, produced in a limited run of 1500. Each is individually numbered and signed by the band. Details:
This deluxe box set contains all of Death Cab for Cutie’s early albums and E.P.s, some never before available on vinyl. All the records from the original 1997 cassette-only “demo” You Can Play These Songs With Chords (originally released via the band’s first label, Bellingham, WA-based Elsinor) through 2001’s The Stability E.P. have been re-mastered by Roger Seibel at SAE, bringing the audio quality of those pressings up to that of the band’s ground-breaking classic 2003 opus (and final studio release via Barsuk) Transatlanticism. Three releases in the package (You Can Play These Songs With Chords, The Stability E.P., and The Death Cab for Cutie Forbidden Love E.P.) are available for the first time on vinyl, only as a part of this box – the entire set is pressed on hefty, beautiful 180-gram vinyl. Each release is packaged individually in its own jacket with the album’s original artwork, and then collected snugly in an individually-numbered cloth-bound box and signed by the band.
BOX SET INCLUDES:
- You Can Play These Songs With Cords (33 rpm; vinyl exclusive to this box set – jacket features original cassette artwork)
- Something About Airplanes (33 rpm; die-cut jacket and layered vellum insert)
- We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes (33 rpm; die-cut jacket)
- The Death Cab for Cutie Forbidden Love E.P. (45 rpm; vinyl exclusive to this box set)
- The Photo Album (33 rpm; includes original full-size photo inserts)
- The Stability E.P. (45 rpm; vinyl exclusive to this box set)
- Transatlanticism (45 rpm double-vinyl with full-size 12-page book insert)
- Numbered cloth-bound box, individually signed by the band
This set retails for $225.

We have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes! But I’m in love with every one of their albums. INCLUDING CODES AND KEYS (being the only weak link)
If I had to pick a favourite I would say Narrow Stairs. Plans would be a close second. That being said, they are all works of amazing art!
“Transatlanticism” is my favorite!
Transatlanticism is a great album.

the photo album will always be my favorite. it was the first one i listened to, and it made me fall in love with dcfc.
Transatlanticism, by a nose, over The Photo Album. This boxset would be fantastic for the sake of getting the Forbidden Love EP on vinyl, too, though.

Plans. I don’t care, i love “Soul Meets Body”
Transatlanticism
i actually don’t have one, but my wife LOVES this band and doesn’t have everything by them. i love vinyl and try to get stuff for her in that format so i can spin stuff for her. this would make a GREAT Christmas present for her! last year i bought her the big coffee table book about the band.

Let’s just put it this way: I use people’s opinions of The Photo Album to determine how I feel having about them in my life.

Transatlanticism–It got me through a really rough patch and then bonded with new friends over it.

Narrow Stairs! So very good :)
Transatlanticism, hands down! although Narrow Stairs is great too, very cohesive album and served as the blatant inspiration for my room design: http://lawaeest.tumblr.com/post/14538564727

Something about airplanes. Fuck yeah bellingham!
Honestly, I like all their albums, but I LOVE certain songs from each one of them. My personal DCFC favorites is their best album, imo.
But I don’t want to be left out of the party, so I think I’d have to go with Transatlanticism, as well.

Photo Album- always stands out brighter than the others. But this is by far the most progressive band I listen to no two records are the same art.

YOU CAN PLAY THESE SONGS WITH CHORDS
Transatlantacism. Although it changes from day to day.

I probably veer between “We Have the Facts…” and “the Photo Album”.

An impossible question that has a different answer depending on the day… Right now going to go with Transatlanticism. Jason McGerr’s first album and an album that really requires a start to end commitment from the listener. Beautiful. It also includes what I think may be my favourite Death Cab song, Lack of Colour.
Transatlanticism!
Transatlantacism- its the reason why I got into death cab but I really love all their albums!
Plans!
Plans got me through highschool. It is a perfect album. DCFC is a perfect band. I need to listen to all of this on my record player and I also need to pay my rent. please!!!!!!
Transatlanticism, photo stability- we have something forbidden you can play.
The Photo Album!
We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes …… all albums are great but I pick this as my favorite :-)
