专辑简介
A test pressing of an Animal Collective release is being auctioned on eBay. This is news? Not usually. But in this case, it's not just any Animal Collective release, it's the long-rumored live box set on the Catsup Plate label. And the auction is for charity.
Playfully titled Animal Crack Box, the 3xLP set gathers live material that was "recorded live to MiniDisc at various locations over the course of the course of the first three years or so of the band." The box set has been talked about for years (including in a recent Pitchfork interview), and now it looks like it's really happening. Catsup Plate, who released Animal Collective's Campfire Songs album, put up the auction to benefit Doctors Without Borders. Here's the story, cut and pasted from the listing:
"We never know what to do with test pressings here at Catsup Plate. Fairly soon after we approve them we have commercial copies of the record, so the test pressing usually go into a box somewhere. Save them for the grandkids or something like that.
For our upcoming 3LP boxed set of live and unreleased Animal Collective music, entitled Animal Crack Box, we've decided to do something a bit more positive with a set of the test pressings and offer them up for auction with 100% of proceeds going to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières, a Nobel Peace Prize winning medical humanitarian organization who do a tremendous job in offering impartial and non-political help to victims of violence, neglect, or catastrophe around the world."
