The Erased Tapes 5th Anniversary box set entitled Erased Tapes Collection V is a collection of five seven-inch records carrying ten exclusive songs recorded by Erased Tapes artists in celebration of the label's fifth birthday.
Designed by Torsten Posselt at FELD Berlin the Erased Tapes Collection V comes in a deluxe, hand-assembled outer box, emblazoned with a detailed debossing of the mountain-shaped logo. The black box opens at an angle and reveals five screen-printed inner sleeves carrying five dinged 7" records, plus a hand-numbered sixth inner.
The additional sleeve contains a mountain-shaped record centrepiece, an anti-static cleaning cloth and has a unique code imprinted on the back. The code enables its rightful owner to download a digital edition of this release.
As featured in Mojo, Clash, The Wire, The Rolling Stone and Record Collector, the Erased Tapes Collection V comes in a strictly limited edition of 500 copies worldwide available from the Erased Tapes online store http://www.erasedtapes.com/store/index/ERATP050 and in
selected record stores only.
"When you look closely at the debossing on the front of the box, you will recognise the time and pressure lines of the seismographic disc on which the original mountain was drawn back in 2007, embodying the constancy and timelessness of the music. I very much like the idea that this collection is limited to a certain amount of copies. And if you own it, you're one of only a few people out there that can give these ten exclusive songs a spin. There's something beautiful to limitation and restraint that resonates with the whole idea of Erased Tapes." – Robert Raths, label founder
Erased Tapes is a London, United Kingdom based independent record label focusing on releasing avant-garde music which is widely regarded as very diverse in genres and styles. The record company was established by German-born Robert Raths in early 2007. Raths defines his main interest as 'a dialogue between two opposite poles, between traditional and contemporary, between digital and
analogue'. Its roster of contemporary classical music composers includes Ólafur Arnalds from Iceland, German pianist Nils Frahm, Ukrainian continuous music pioneer Lubomyr Melnyk, the US ambient duo Dustin O’Halloran and Adam Wiltzie aka A Winged Victory For The Sullen and Portland’s multi-instrumentalist Peter Broderick.
