- The made-to-order set includes ten records from the Leeds imprint's back catalog.
The Leaf Label will mark 20 years in existebusinessce with a deluxe box set and ten album reissues.
Tony Morley's label was initially launched as an outlet for Boymerang, the drum and bass project of Graham Sutton from Bark Psychosis. They'd go on to release the Four Tet vs. Pole EP, work extensively with the Danish group Efterklang and introduce Dan Snaith's Manitoba (later Caribou) project to the world. The new box set, which the label notes weighs in at around 5 KG, includes 10 LPs and 10 CDs. Among the titles present are the recently deceased producer Susumu Yokota's 2000 LP Sakura, Caribou's Up In Flames, Colleen's Everyone Alive Wants Answers and Murcof debut album Martes. The strictly limited box set is available for pre-order exclusively through a Pledge Music campaign, an acknowledgement of the expenses involved. All ten records will be released individually as well. Check out the full list:
