This is the deluxe, limited edition version, in an edition of only 75 copies. It comes in the form of a hand made, 12” lathe cut record in a handworked, heavy weight, recycled chipboard jacket. Each jacket has been uniquely collaged on the front with torn and reassembled photographs from a 100 year old book on travels in Spain, each in the form of an original and architecturally modified and mysterious landscape. Each collage is then surrounded by a frame of tissue thin vellum that has been painstakingly sized, cut out and meticulously applied. The vellum is then stamped with a set of vintage, pastoral French rubber stamps, and each is individually hand titled/stamped as well. On the back of each jacket are other abstracted corner bits of pastoral photos with more extensive floral stamping, and each has adhered to it a black 5’ envelope containing the factory pressed CD of the album as well. Centered on this black envelope is a smaller antique envelope, also hand modified, and each of these contains a unique, negative transparency from a museums collection of the arts of antiquity. Each record comes in it’s own black poly-lined sleeve, and each finished jacket comes in a clear, outer poly sleeve as well. The lathe cut records were manufactured by Michael Lawrence at Bladud Flies, in Wales, UK…
