Mt. Eerie’s
Live in Copenhagen is our most ambitious vinyl release ever: three
LPs in a triple gatefold jacket
all beautifully illustrated by
Phil Elverum.
Five sides contain 34 live tracks from a two-set solo
performance in Copenhagen, Denmark from March 2003, including several
Microphones songs and as-yet-unreleased Mt. Eerie songs. The sixth
side features an etching by Genevieve Elverum (Phil’s wife) and a bonus track,
“The Boom,” recorded in a Copenhagen apartment with
Mikael Andreasen of the Danish band Kloster and Washington Inc.
Records.
Mikael Andreasen
and Scott Hatch of Burnt Toast Vinyl have been good friends for
several years, trading records and many live show recordings. Once
Mikael told of the recording session and sent a copy of the live
show recording he had made, the two approached Phil with the idea
of this special release. Phil had agreed to be a part of the ongoing
Burnt Toast Vinyl one-sided LP series and the release morphed into
this triple LP edition, with Phil undertaking the monumental effort
of completing the jacket and booklet artwork. The cover is a single
drawing that covers all three jacket panels.
This 3xLP set
fully showcases the brilliance of Phil Elverum of Mt. Eerie and
The Microphones through live performance and artwork. It’s
a limited edition of 1,000 copies, available only on vinyl, a must
for any fan.
Co-release between
Washington Inc. Records, Copenhagen, Denmark and Burnt Toast Vinyl,
Philadelphia.
