TRS089 comes in two distinct physical versions. The first limited edition boxes come in an edition of just 50 copies. Each of these modified lidded boxes is a “specimen box” of sorts. The front and back are covered with 100 year old German botanical prints, are hand stamped as usual, outlined in gold, and all the labeling is hand typed on a vintage typewriter, and then hand applied. The edges of each box are rolled with metallic silver sunflowers. The interior lid features Japanese plant embedded fine art paper, the factory pressed CD on a hub, as well as a vintage photo of families and children enjoying their time in nature. Inside, each box is layered with naturalistic prints of birds and paper ephemera, small vintage floral cutouts, actual dried flowers and twigs and bark, and a 60 year old handmade, wooden, insect specimen “slide”. A 5.5”, 45rpm lathe cut record single, with remixes of two tracks from the album comes in its own forest green envelope, that has also been stamped, and adorned with an actual dried flower. Finally, each box comes wrapped in a large cut and folded botanical print, and is then tied up with vintage twine. The high quality lathe cut records are handmade by Michael Lawrence at Bladud Flies, in Wales, UK.There is also a digipak version of this release in an edition of 150 copies
