Description

Hi,
This is your chance to get a slice of extremely rare Fleet Foxes history and donate towards the earthquake and tsunami relief cause in Japan. 100% of proceeds from this auction will go to  GlobalGiving Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund.
This is an auction for-
1. a (signed by the whole band) test pressing of Fleet Foxes' new album "Helplessness Blues." The album is due to be released on 3rd May in the UK. It is a double vinyl disc album and is signed by the whole band on each sleeve as you can see in the pictures. 
2. A test pressing of Fleet Foxes' first self titled album "Fleet Foxes." You can hear the album here- http://n.pr/fDgktu
Also included is a hand painted picture that has a personally penned note from Robin Pecknold, saying thanks.
Robin from Fleet Foxes auctioned this the first time round and described the auction like this-
"This is a double vinyl, so you'll receive two records, one with sides A & B and one with sides C & D.  We'll include a little note with like tracklisting and other information.
These things are quite rare and the record isn't even out yet, so it seemed like the most valuable album we had that we could auction off.  Projected auction earnings - twelve dollars.
Anyway thanks for looking and thanks to everybody, musicians and otherwise, doing what they can to help the situation over in Japan right now."
Here's the link to the original ebay auction- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&rt=nc&nma=true&item=280647744199&si=9xMGo0mOKanSvAkuSdv41DkE4MU%253D&viewitem=#ht_500wt_1156

Green Man managing director Fiona Stewart added this- "Green Man wanted to do something to somehow help the relief effort in Japan following the horrifying earthquake and tsunami. We saw that Robin Pecknold from Fleet Foxes was auctioning the test press of their new album "Helplesness Blues" on ebay, with 100% of proceeds going to Global Giving Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Relief Fund. We knew that we should bid and try and win it and we did- Fleet Foxes then doubled the end price! 


"To raise more money, we're now auctioning the test press once again with 100% of proceeds going to the relief fund. I spoke to Robin and explained what we planned to do and he kindly added the test press of their first album too! The whole band has also signed the new record and Robin has written a thank you note. We think that this is a great chance for you to get your mits on a slice of Fleet Foxes history in the form of two fantastic records, with the proceeds going to an extremely worthwhile cause. So please bid now!" 


Happy bidding.
Green Man Festival
*We will ship (free of charge) the records once the funds have cleared.
