Pylon Box Set, New West Records 2020 Limited Edition Colored Vinyl Box Set.

For sale is one of the 500 copies of the limited edition colored vinyl box set of Pylon’s 2020 retrospective box set on New West Records. Includes hardback book signed by Vanessa Briscoe Hay, Curtis Crowe, and Michael Lachowski. Please note that the photographs included in this listing are photographs of the actual box set you will receive, not file photos or photos pulled from the web.

Includes the following four albums;

1) Razz Tape, on grey marbled vinyl.

2) Gyrate, on yellow vinyl.

3) Chomp, on sky blue marbled vinyl.

4) Extra, on red vinyl.

While the colored vinyl release of this box is limited to 500 copies, as best as I can tell, there are no stickers, numbering, serial number variations or other markings on the outside of the factory sealed box to identify that it is in fact the colored vinyl edition. This copy of the box has been opened, and the shrink wrap removed, to verify that it is indeed the colored vinyl edition. The original hype sticker from the shrink wrap has been cut out and saved inside of the book.

Track one, side one of each LP has been briefly played to verify that the records are flat. After over 40 years of listening to and collecting vinyl, my number one pet peeve is warped records, but all four of the colored vinyl LPs in this box are flat.

In addition, the LPs were immediately removed from their custom inner sleeves and placed in new collector quality white paper sleeves to prevent seam splits or damage to the custom inner sleeves. The set will be shipped to you with the LPs stored in these white paper sleeves to prevent seam splits or damage to the custom inner sleeves. While I have seen a copy of the standard black vinyl edition of this box with seam splits on two of the four custom inner sleeves, doubtless caused by the records having been shipped from the factory inside of the custom inner sleeves, all four custom inner sleeves in this copy of the colored vinyl box set are intact and unsplit.

If you clicked on this listing, you are a record collector like myself. As you know, buying modern limited edition vinyl can be a crapshoot. This past Record Store Day, I purchased a copy of the half-speed mastered reissue of Paul McCartney’s debut album from my local indie shop, only to discover that my copy had an edge warp. In search of a better copy, I ordered a second copy online, but, when that second copy arrived, it was even more badly warped than the first. While the shrink wrap on this copy of this box set has been broken, the set is otherwise brand new, and has been verified to be in collector quality condition, with four flat records and unsplit custom inner sleeves. Please read my 100% positive feedback and comments from previous buyers and buy with confidence, knowing that this box set will be packaged and shipped to arrive to you in collector quality condition.
