We're proud to announce a very special 10th anniversary edition of Sufjan Stevens' Illinois. In 2005 Sufjan Stevens released Illinois, his fourth album and the second in his 50-state project. Sufjan fans with long memories might recall a minor hiccup in our release of Illinois as it related to the inclusion of a certain Metropolis-born man of steel. While we do love balloons, we've always missed the imminent presence Big Blue brought to the album's cover art, short-lived though it was. But things are very different in 2015 than they were in 2005, and different times call for different heroes. So, ten years after we released the double LP of Illinois, we're proud to announce a special 10th anniversary edition of the LP that includes Chicago-born Adam Brashear aka Blue Marvel on the cover. The double LP will include an "Antimatter Blue" and "Cape White" vinyl colors. The audio for the special edition comes from a 2014 remastered version of Illinois. We commissioned children's book artist and the original Illinois cover artist Divya Srinivasan to portray Blue Marvel in the style of the original art. We're pressing 10,000 double LPs of this edition. And we might include an extra surprise so stay tuned.
 

Vinyl Records and their Sleeves are very easily damaged in the post, with our 10 years experience we take great care when packaging vinyl records, by opening and removing the inner sleeve (without touching the record) to try and avoid any problems.

***Although, if you would rather we did not carefully open one side of the PVC sleeve (if supplied), please call us once the order has been placed, we cannot accept any responsibility for spine damage to the sleeve in transit if the record is not removed***
