Description
This is the information from Stereogum.com. I copied & pasted it to give you guys some idea of how rare this is.
NO ONE else has tried to sell this but if you love this band, it shouldn't matter how expensive it gets. Merry Christmas!!! The music is AWESOME!!!
Stereolab remixes to Halloween treats, there's been much afoot in camp Deerhunter this week. The band plays their Microcastle record release party tonight at Variety Playhouse with Pylon, Jay Reatard, and Times New Viking. If you go, you might be able to get yourself a cassette copy of the so-called Platts Eyott Session. The story: Cox recorded the session during the night of 9/15 at Studio Plateaux on the Platts Eyott Island, a nature reserve on the Thames, London.The place is packed with vintage Ribbon microphones, etc. He played all the instruments. 4AD says that "the idea behind the session was in memory of John Peel and his famous Radio 1 sessions." Like the radio, you're supposed to listen to the results in order, without interruption. If you do, you'll hear Microcastle reworkings, a new "Spring Hall Convert," and unreleased material. It's available in an edition of 200 cassettes: 100 orange, 100 pink. You can only get the orange ones tonight in Georgia, but if you can't make it, or threw out your cassette deck years ago, listen to it all using this fancy player. While there, you can also sign-up to win a copy of Platts Eyott in pink.
from Pitchforkmedia.com:
Night off work? Check. Totally adorable/ridiculous costume? Check. Ticket to the Deerhunter Microcastle record release bash at Variety Playhouse in Atlanta this evening? Check plus. Copy of Deerhunter's just-issued, ultra-limited edition On Platts Eyott Island cassette-only release? Uh...
Better start lining up now, Hotlantans, because Bradford Cox & co. have precisely 100 copies of Island on spooktacular orange cassette (see above and below) to give away to the first 100 people who show up at Variety Playhouse tonight. As you may have read in Forkcast, the seven-track release was recorded by Cox and Cox alone at London's Capitol K studio last month and includes alternate renditions of a number of Microcastle jams. Cox refers to it as both "a tribute to John Peel" and "like a pretend John Peel session" on the Deerhunter blog, and the band's overseas label 4AD tells us Island will not be issued in any other physical or digital forms.
So what if you can't make it to the ATL tonight? Don't fret just yet. 4AD has 100 additional copies of On Platts Eyott Island on pink cassette to give away to 100 lucky folks who head HERE and part with some contact info. While there, you can stream the whole release-- in a groovy cassette-inspired player, no less. And don't miss the "Saved by Old Times" MP3 over in Forkcast.
Tonight's record release show also marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship between Deerhunter and the live music venues of North America. Their travels won't wrap up until early December, and along the way they'll play a Nine Inch Nails makeup show, a whole bunch of gigs with Times New Viking, and scattered runs with an assortment of other ace openers.
