Animal Collective’s limited-edition 3LP Animal Crack Box is coming. The set of live rarities will be limited to 1,000 vinyl copies, housed in a silkscreened box illustrated by Jon Vermilyea, on sale exclusively through Fusetron. It’ll be available in a few months, but if you can’t wait that long and you have all the money, you’re in luck: Catsup Plate, the label behind early AC works like Danse Manatee and Campfire Songs, is auctioning off a test pressing right now.
All proceeds benefit Doctors Without Borders, who will be happy to hear bidding has already reached $1,050.00.

Cool that it’s all old recordings. Despite AC’s continued awesomeness, Feels and Sung Tongs are still the winners of the lot.
this stuff is from waaaaay before that. this material sounds more like their hcti hollindagain stuff.
