The National - Cherry Tree Club

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Ah! I think I may have misunderstood above and thought the posts I was responding to were about the annual membership record.

Yeah, I think he’s talking about the CT exclusive reissues of their early albums. They’ve also sent out some email updates regarding the CT Vol 3, I think the most recent one shared a portion of the show via SoundCloud and said that the LP has been delayed until June.

Light Years: A book from The National & Graham MacIndoe

Light years chronicles Scottish photographer Graham MacIndoe’s 20-year relationship with The National through newly published images, essays and quotes from members of the band. Graham took The National’s first official publicity photo in 2001, back when they were friends working in creative careers, lost touch with the band as their lives took very different paths, then reconnected in 2012 just as Trouble Will Find Me was released. Since then, Graham has documented recording sessions for The National’s last three albums and a multitude of gigs and rehearsals, capturing life in the studio, backstage and on the road. Graham’s black-and-white photographs provide a unique and intimate view of the band and their interactions with each other, their crew, family, friends and fans. The book is accompanied by a vinyl album of songs selected by Graham and Scott Devendorf from The National’s September 2018 performances at Forest Hills Stadium in New York. Light Years is available for preorder exclusively in the Cherry Tree shop for 72 hours. There are 6 limited edition variants to choose from: SIGNED Light Years Book & Print - Blue Vinyl - Limited Edition SIGNED Light Years Book – Clear Vinyl - Limited Edition Light Years Book - White Opaque / Blue Split Vinyl - Cherry Tree Exclusive - Limited Edition Light Years Book - Light Brown Vinyl - Cherry Tree Exclusive - Limited Edition Light Years Book - Clear 12" Vinyl - Limited Edition Light Years Book - Limited Edition Limited to 3200 units, each book will be numbered.

I love the National but this is totally unaffordable for your average person.

damn. too steep for my blood even though i went to those forest hills shows!

 

[Twentytwo]

Let's see if @Bennnnn and @threesunrises can keep their National variant collecting going with these, I'm out. Even worse it is only 8 songs on vinyl.

 

[mdmost]

Yeah, I'd only really want the record.

 

[McGlam]

yeah the lack of much music is a hard no for me. I'm sure it will be a nice book though.

 

[Bennnnn]

Haha. I was just coming to post. I bought one. Gotta have that vinyl even if it’s a bit disappointing that it’s so short. But the book looks great too. I went with the unsigned (cause it’s just a book plate that is signed) blue/white split. Still absurdly expensive…but oh well

 

[Bennnnn]

Like I opted to not buy A Lot Of Sorrow when I could. And now it’s essentially impossible unless you want to spend even more money. I feel these will also be hard to come by and I don’t want to kick myself for just not pulling the trigger.

 

[Space Wanderer]

It’s expensive if you’re focused solely on the vinyl, but I don’t think it’s that crazy for a well-put-together photo book plus the limited vinyl.

If it helps, they do specify that a “portion” of the proceeds from the signed variants at least are going to the crew.

 

[Djxfactor511]

Yeah, as much as this peaks my curiosity, I'm out for this.

FOMO found Bennnn when Bennn was young.
FOMO waited
FOMO won

I'm also out. But this is going to be on the "That Escalated Quickly" thread and going for $700+ very very shortly.

It would have been nice to just sell the vinyl without the book.

 

[Selaws]

Im out, just too rich for my blood. I imagine it will only go up in value though. Some National fans seem pretty die hard.

 

[Viking Dan]

It would have been nice to just sell the vinyl without the book.

Maybe we get it in our next Membership Package?

 

[McGlam]

Maybe we get it in our next Membership Package?

That's what I was thinking at first. Would have been a nice membership package but obviously they value it well above $50
