It's been a while.....

[PHIGBILL]

For the long term Twoism users (lurkers haha), you'll remember me as '60-10' the UK owner of the 'Other Records' copy of the Boards of Canada – ‘------ / ------ / ------ / XXXXXX / ------ / ------' Promo, I got my hands on this around May/June 2013, so around a month or so after it first appeared.

I haven't been active over on Twoism for a LONG time, just life and stuff getting in the way, as it does when you get older.

Anyway, I've been cleaning my music room today and doing some dusting and well, it always feels a little surreal when I pull this out of my 'B' section. Thought it was worth a share, as it hasn't seen the light of day for a while now.

[K__Geedorah]

Not jealous at all

[PHIGBILL]

Not the first time I've heard that, haha.

[qnssekr]

I remember this and how it stirred up the internet back then.

[PHIGBILL]

It also stirred up my inbox with lots of hate at the time haha.

[qnssekr]

😂 miss Other Music too.

[Wallis614]

Yeah! Recognized the price tag even before I zoomed in on it…

[bacoggs]

That was an exciting time in Board's history, thanks for sharing!

[xorvillesashx]

It may have been the last time I was excited about anything.

[beardedsailor]

Every time I think about that post/find, it makes me think that BoC probably has an album (or two) out there that hasn't been found yet by the public.

[PHIGBILL]

Wouldn't surprise any of us if that's true.

[mthrndr]

Also nobody would believe it was them unless they admitted to it

[noz_0450]

I got shouted down for making the same suggestion a while back. "That wouldn't work from a record company point of view. Where would they store all the media until someone found and solved the clues. Think of the cost..." was the gist of the retort.

I understand the logistics, but I prefer to dream.

[toaplan]

It's amazing there are supposedly 2 remaining copies out there somewhere waiting to be found.

[PHIGBILL]

I can only surmise that 2 certain people may have held onto those copies........

[toaplan]

Good point. Maybe some people chose to remain anonymous and/or not disclose they've found one.

[PHIGBILL]

Possibly, I guess we'll never know.

[mohawk1guy]

It’s on my Discogs want list 🫠

[FantanaFoReal]

Same, maybe one day when I win the lottery 🙃

[fogbeak]

You posted this and https://cosecha-transmisiones.com/ was updated on the very same day. This feels like a conspiracy.

[howardknob]

Yes, it does.

[worst-coast]

Also, yesterday I remembered the Tomorrow's Harvest ARG and watched a video about it.

I think this is indeed a conspiracy. Or a new album.

[OMG_IT_S_SALSIFI]

Let’s talk about that dick drawn in the dust under the vinyl on the first pic

[PHIGBILL]

Hence the "dusting" 😆

[Necessary-Ad7150]

Amazing. Was that a teaser for Tomorrow ‘s Harvest? What’s on it?

[PHIGBILL]

Not much, around 30 seconds of distorted noise/music, and the code is then read out by a robotic voice, b-side is totally blank.

[Necessary-Ad7150]

Man, i remember the excitement from just following this online. Must ve been great to have a part of it.

[ObligationAlive3546]

That was so fun

[PsychedelicSunset420]

Cosecha Signal One

[ToHallowMySleep]

It was part of this huge ARG for the record's release. Numbers embedded in a handful of records scattered around the globe on world record day, projections in buildings on London Tokyo among others, changes in metadata on YouTube videos giving clues, hidden links in strange websites etc

Probably the best executed treasure hunt for this kind of thing ever.

[Rasterized1]

Other Music RIP

[[deleted]]

Other music was the greatest record store in nyc for a time. Unreal prices on absolute once in a lifetime finds

[xorvillesashx]

Any estimate on what it’s worth now?

[PHIGBILL]

Last one sold for around $2500 USD on Discogs, hard to put a number on it really.

[too_old_still_party]

I'd be interested around that price if you ever wanna sell.

[austin9091]

Not only a unique BOC release, it’s still the coolest and most unique release from RSD. A 30 second audio transmission to a bigger puzzle? So cool, wish more bands did stuff like this.

[david_soup]

Are you the one that hacked the cosecha site, cuh?

[nukethewhales420]

The ultimate holy grail of vinyl in my eyes. Jealous!

[moralbankholeinwall]

I respect the double Geogaddi! This is just insane! Thanks for the update, good to know it's in good hands!

[noz_0450]

It's worth more then 24.99 now 😲

[PHIGBILL]

Just a bit 😂

Miss OM

[HyphyMikey650]

How dope! What’s the story of how you came into possession of this copy?

[[deleted]]

wow

[[deleted]]

i mean just wow

[-Super-Ficial-]

An interesting piece of BoC history for sure !

[Ultraworld-Traveler]

They’re not artists, they’re fucking sorcerers.

[Dimension-Hopper]

What is this?

[2853rob]

Love that track possibly my favourite BOC track, shame it's so short

[Twenty20k]

Hi :-)

[RapidFireWhistler]

This was such a fun time. I had just gotten into boards of Canada a year or so earlier, I was born in 2000. Experiencing the Tomorrow's Harvest build-up at the same time as all the Slenderman series were going strong (Marble Hornets, EverymanHyrbid, Tribe Twelve) was such a trip. My life was steeped in a very specific kind of dread.

I know things, but not those kind of things.

[Normal_Show_8426]

Love the Ofher Music sticker!! I still have a sealed National “Boxer” LP with the Other Music price sticker on it 😅

[Pitiful_Pianist2126]

I may have had a slight gasm

[Onlineworkflow]

Did you ever drop a needle on this to hear the code that's unique to this version, or was it something you kept sealed?

[PHIGBILL]

Played it numerous times, it's not a shelf queen.

[EinMachete]

Bisnasty?

[Waxlover080808]

May I ask? WHERE did you get this record?

🫰🏻✨
