Description
You are looking at Manchester Orchestra's "Don't Speak" by No Doubt and Thrice's "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" by The Beatles. Limited Edition and Collectors Item for fans of Manchester Orchestra or Thrice. I was one of the lucky 400 people who purchased this the day it came out. Yes there is only 400 out there not 500 as stated on the back. This vinyl is numbered 151/500 and from my personal collection. It is in Mint condition. I just spun the wax before posting this on both sides and the songs play immaculately. The covers are so well done by both bands. Manchester Orchestra's cover of "Don't Speak" runs at about 14 minutes long. Condition is in the same as when I bought it back in 2013. Thank you for looking at my post and please reach out if you have any questions. Check out my shop for other oddities and treasures.

If you are interested in the story behind this vinyl I will leave you with this....
Here's a little background info from Manchester Orchestra on the mighty cover:
"The story behind the making of our half of this record is a pretty cool one. i thought i would share with you the history behind why we decided to record what is undeniably THE BEST 14 minute stoner-rock version of "Don't Speak" by No Doubt to ever exist.
when manchester was writing mean everything to nothing i was in the middle of helping them produce the first O'Bro EP "the death of day". we would usually do pre production on monday nights at the manchester practice space. manchester finished up writing for the day and i started playing a c minor and singing the first lines of "don't speak"… we all sort of laughed… then we all sort of jammed… then the light bulb went off. "i am going to have to call o'bro and tell them we can't do preproduction tonight because we must record a cover of this song with each member of both bands. luckily they were game so we all met at Dan Hannon and Brad Fishers studio "Vintage Song" at about 11 pm and started mapping it out. we recorded it all live in the same room. the set up was like this… 3 electric guitars (me, robert, johnny) 1 baritone (aaron), 1 acoustic guitar (our buddy averso), piano (tanner), 2 bass players (anton and j) and chris on drums. i don't think i'm missing anybody but looking back now the evening registers a tad "foggy". we recorded the song twice. the first take was 23 minutes long. we listened to and said "that's a little much"… went back in and recorded the second version the comes in at about 14 minutes.
manchester and o'brother have been sitting on this song for a long time. when MO did a co-headline tour with thrice (O'Bro opening) in the spring of 2009, we asked thrice to add a song so we could print up a proper split. well, like most vinyl things get delayed and it just so happened that by the time the vinyl came to us on the road (where we intentionally planned on selling it) the tour was abruptly cancelled due to a family emergency. these vinyls have been sitting in our warehouse ever since. so i called up the thrice guys and asked if they were still interested in releasing it and here we are.
the vinyl is a clear 12 inch. due to the length of both songs we were not able to make this a 7 inch and we have around 400 of them in stock. the other 100 are out there somewhere…we have no idea where, how, or why."
