PRODUCT DETAILS
The National Becomes One of the Preeminent Bands of the 21st Century on Boxer: Thematic Album Features Literary Narratives, Simmering Arrangements, and Gorgeous MelodiesExperience the 2007 Record in Audiophile Sound: Strictly Limited to 3,000 Numbered Copies, Mobile FIdelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP Set Plays with Widescreen Immediacy and Precise Detail""Another uninnocent, elegant fall into the unmagnificent lives of adults"": That lyric distills the thematic essence of Boxer, a breakthrough that transformed the National from a respected indie act into one of the 21st century's foremost bands. Replete with literary narratives, widescreen arrangements, and mysterious beauty, the album addresses issues of domesticity, maturation, and escapism with equal parts stark honesty and clever wit. Stately, rich, and intimate, it's more relevant today than upon release in 2007.Sourced from the original masters, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton gatefold jacket, Mobile Fidelity's 180g 45RPM 2LP set presents Boxer in audiophile sound for the first time. The wider grooves of the exclusive 45RPM pressing lend to improved tracking, precise detail, and high-frequency preservation. This collectible reissue captures the group's chamber textures, rhythmic pacing, brassy accents, and minimalist architecture with immediacy, depth, and balance. Black backgrounds practically place the National on an intimate stage in your listening space. So you can now better mimic singer Matt Berninger's strategy on ""Apartment Story"": ""Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours,"" he murmurs. ""While it sings to itself, or whatever it does.""16-bit / 44.1kHz digital master to analog console to latheNumbered 180g 45RPM Vinyl 2LPLIMITED EDITION OF 3,000

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
