TRS011….The Plinth, “Collected Machine Music”, release is available in two versions. This deluxe version, in an edition of 70 hand made copies (sold for 95$ on the label site) comes with a music box, and original song strip hand punched by Michael Tanner, to be played through it. Each very heavy duty, hinge lidded, 8.5″ x 5.25″ chocolate box is collaged/hand worked inside and out with 150 year old English engravings, original Victorian calling cards, clock hands, brass nuts and bolts, hand printed insert and other ephemera. Screwed to the inside of the box is a miniature music box mounted to a stained oak base. Nestled in each box is the signed, numbered, titled, and hand annotated original song strip from Michael Tanner. These unique little tunes were composed on a harp and painstakingly transcribed to the strips by punching one hole at at time! No two songs/strips are the same. Tied to the outside of the box with a ribbon is the digipak w/ replicated factory pressed disc.

The digipak version of this release is also available separately. In an edition of 200 copies.
