You are bidding on The Avalanches - Since I left you (reissue) double LP Color: deep dark blue Vinyl: New Record has never been played. Only opened to verify color. Detailed info from Beggars website: Release date : 9 April 2012 Label : XL Recordings Cat. No.: XLLP 148 Format – double album / deep ocean blue coloured vinyl / gatefold sleeve An extensive patch of time was spent building Since I Left You, a 60-minute melting pot of the band’s collective that sounds like a postcard to anyone who has ever made a record. Apart from the cover, there’s also something distinctly sub-aquatic in the sound as the tracks ebb, flow and drift into each other in a magnificent mosaic. This album still shines like a nuclear star-fish with its delicious delights. Released in their native Australia in late 2000 and preceded by the appetite-whetting Frontier Psychiatrist EP, it received a response from critics and the public that reflected the album’s glowing nature. The group even had the blessing of Madonna, who allowed them to sample the bass line to “Holiday” – the first time she okayed such a thing. The UK version was released by XL Recordings in 2001 and debuted at No. 8 on the albums chart in April, quickly topping 200,000 sales. Also that month, the first UK single from the album, the title track Since I Left You, was released and debuted at No. 16 on the singles chart while the video won video of the year at the MTV Europe Music awards. In July the second single, Frontier Psychiatrist debuted at No. 18 and the video was later awarded the runner-up prize at Soho Shorts Film Festival. It’s a welcome re-issue on vinyl where all the crackles from the original single samples somehow feel more at home and not as intrusively alien as on the CD.
