Thee Oh Sees The 8-Track Collection

Limited to 100 copies!

Collectors beware:
Your gathering of arms is dangerously close to incomplete.
The wizard has shook his crooked stick and *poof*
a thing of beauty.
12 selected full albums from the discography of john dwyer’s oh sees, thee oh sees and OCS
ranging from 2008-2018.
The meat of the beast.
This touring machine has time machined back in time to plant their kisses upon a plethora..no, a rainbow of 8 track cartridges.
Professionally dubbed and packaged beautifully with art by Elzo Durt (ocs live, carrion crawler artist).
Flourished with fan zine, iron-on patch pins and stickers.

It's a tank.
Had to search through many dimensions to unearth this arcana.
And it took a master to wrangle it all into shape for this very special and limited release.

Niche? Yes!
Substantial ? Yes!
Fucking cool? We think so!

Cheers big ears.

RELEASE INFO from the label:

Here it is, the official and very limited collection of 12 Oh Sees, Thee Oh Sees, OCS Albums on Stereo 8-Track Cartridges. Only 100 hand numbered boxsets were made with only 60 going up for sale to the public, (the rest are going to the band and all the volunteers that worked on this release). It took us well over a year to make these 100 sets, so this is the first and final edition of this massive boxset. Once these are gone they are gone. Every 8-track cart in this collection was reconditioned by hand from 40+ year old cartridges and each album is on a specific color and hand numbered cartridge. No expense was spared making this limited boxset with original artwork by ELZO DURT, and which includes 130 songs and over 8 hours 21 minutes of music. The release includes a 36 page zine (with the making of the release, 8-track history, album info, band posters from throughout the bands history and more), a limited edition 5"x7" photo signed by JPD himself, and some extra goodies (3" patch, stickers, buttons).

- Price: This release is not cheap. Unfortunately 8-tracks are very manual and expensive to make. Each of these 8-tracks was reconditioned and rebuilt by hand in texas. Also, given the small run size, the custom designed boxset ended up being very expensive per unit. There had never been a 8-track boxset for 12 carts so we had to make a ton of different prototypes and create our own design which wasnt cheap. We really wanted this set to be more affordable, but we couldnt do that without big compromises on the quality or the number of albums. We are really pumped how it turned out.

- Set Condition: All of these carts were reconditioned from previously owned pre-loved 40+ year old 8-tracks. That means that these 8-tracks have been beat up and played in old pickup trucks for decades, they are NOT going to be mint condition. Each boxset will be unique because each cart will be completely different. Also, given the carts are all different sizes, shapes, and different manufacturers, the newly printed labels are going to sit on the carts differently and the labels will show some signs of wear in different places as they mold to the carts. In other words dont expect a flawless mint set that came straight off the factory floor.
