The Tain LP on A Side. 5 Songs EP on B Side.
This release is a combination of new and old. Where the Decemberists have been and where they are headed. The A side is made up of the new, a short form concept record called The Tain. This piece is based on what most consider the Illiad of Irish myth, The Tain. While keeping the signature Decemberists sound intact, the band gives a significant nod to such 70's progressive rockers as Deep Purple and Iron Butterfly. The Tain was recorded in an intensive 4-day period in which the band actually slept on the floor of the recording studio. It was captured and brought to light with the help of Christopher Walla (Death Cab For Cutie) at the venerable Hall of Justice in Seattle, WA. The B side is a vinyl release of the bands 1st EP 5 Songs. It is simpler, less adorned, but still a marvelous collection of characters trapped in song, clawing and cooing their way out. Think of these pieces as bookends to the last 2 full-length Decemberists releases.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.
Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.
CANCELLATIONS:
Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.
Thank you for your understanding.
