In November of 2011, Quarterstick Records released the limited edition box set—
Road Atlas 1998-2011, a collection of Calexico’s 8 self-released tour albums in vinyl format for the first time ever (previously only available at Calexico’s live concerts as CDs). The box set also included a 40 page book of photos and notes as well as never before released bonus tracks encased in a screen printed slip case. As described by journalist Fred Mills , “you hold what the members of Calexico describe as their Road Atlas, and as a kind of alternate musical history of the band, it makes for quite a trip.” Limited to 1,100 copies worldwide, the
Road Atlas 1998-2011 box set sold out instantly and sent fans searching the internet and local record shops in hopes of acquiring a copy of their own.
Now, in response to such HIGH fan demand, Quarterstick is happy to announce the release of each of the 8 individual tour albums on May 22,2012. Each album includes a coupon for a MP3 download of the album and comes packaged in the same full color cover art and color inner sleeves as those in the box set.
So if you missed your shot at the box set, here’s your chance! Sort of...
