Sealed, quickly sold out when released. Apologies for the photos, it was getting dark so I was in front of a window but the reflection was too strong, so then I had to turn a light on and there were reflections because the sleeve is black and has a holographic effect. The photos showing the color of the record are from the website because this is sealed. Comes with a 16 page color fanzine.
Bandbox is honored to present The War On Drugs’s 2020 road chronicle, 'Live Drugs', on stunning 2xLP gold + purple A-side/B-side vinyl. Sporting a tip-on gatefold jacket with holographic artwork for the first time ever, the live record (limited to just 1,000 copies) is accompanied by a TWOD fanzine featuring a lengthy and insightful career-spanning interview with frontman Adam Granduciel, a set of six baseball cards that highlights each member of the arena-rocking indie group, exclusive photography and much more.

'Live Drugs' resides on a higher plane than your average concert album. Culled from dozens of hard drives filled with soundboard audio of the Philadelphia outfit’s 17-country, 65-gig year of touring behind major label debut 'A Deeper Understanding' (2017), this nebulously immaculate anthology boasts transcendent takes of signature TWOD tunes like “Red Eyes,” “Thinking Of A Place” and “Under The Pressure” — without dwelling on where or when the tracks were cut.

What makes the elevated musical reverie of 'Live Drugs' — amplified by a hypnotic brand of heartland rock-meets-motherland shoegaze that hovers somewhere in the stratosphere between “Learning To Fly” and 'Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space' — so unique is that hazy sense of universality. It’s not much of a leap to say that, if you saw The War On Drugs in 2017 or 2018, then you were in the building the night they laid down 'Live Drugs.' And now, thanks to this special package from The War On Drugs and Bandbox, you can relive the whole thing.

I am letting a lot of my mint records from my collection go to clear up some space. All have been stored upright in plastic sleeves in a dry, smoke free environment. 

I will combine shipping at a reduced cost if you buy additional items from me - just ask!

I try to be very accurate with descriptions and have 100% feedback. All items are sold as-is. I’m no expert grading vinyl, I just use my previous purchases as a guide. I don’t play test to see if there is any warping.
