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.

I keep changing my mind about which is the best one. Right now I’m in a We have the facts-phase, but my all-time favourite, which I always return to after a while, is Transatlanticism. I have the lyrics to Passenger Seat printed on my bedroom wall!
Plans – because it always reminds me of my year in the US, DCFC were definitely THE band for me during this special year.

I haven’t listened to Death Cab in many years but would still kill to have We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes on vinyl.

Picaresque! let’s see how many downvotes or “that’s not DCFC” responses I get.
I love Narrow Stairs though – the I Will Possess Your Heart full cut is enthralling.

As much as I hate to say it, I think Codes and Keys is my favorite. Closely followed by Transatlanticism, then Narrow Stairs, Plans, the Open Door E.P….

Transatlanticism, hands down.

Transatlanticism. I need it so much closer than all of the other great albums they have.
Definitely love and lost in Transatlanticism!

We Have the Facts and We’re Voting Yes – not just because of the dog collar jingle that Walla left in at 0:56, but because it’s the best.
