Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix, produced as an official exclusive 10th Anniversary Edition by Vinyl Me Please on Limited Edition on pink 180g vinyl.

Notes on the packaging:

It's hard to remember, 10 years on, now that they headline festivals and are the music a sitting US Congresswoman danced to in college, that Phoenix in 2009 were not the world conquerors they'd become.

They were France's best-kept secret, a band that bridged the gap between the Strokes and Air on their first three albums.

It cannot be overstated: No one saw Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix coming.

In the three years off between their third album and this, their fourth, they honed their sound into a sleek, refined machine, resulting in an album that is a pop-indie rock masterpiece, with at least two songs we'll all hear for the rest of our lives ("1901" and "Lisztomania"), and more that are perfectly crafted and ready for as much appreciation as those two ("Countdown," "Fences" and "Armistice" especially), Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix is essential for charting Phoenix's rise, and for chronicling 2009, the year indie rock hit its highest peak, thanks to albums like this.

Includes a limited edition art print.
