Expect special edition vinyl box sets and live shows from Leaf affiliated artists
Yorkshire independent The Leaf Label can count releases from a hugely eclectic range of artists over their 20 year history. Genre has never been a hindrance for the label who’ve put out material by Caribou, A Hawk and A Hacksaw, Melt Yourself Down and many, many more over the years. Now they’ve turned twenty they’re releasing a very special, very limited box set of classic releases from the label’s back catalogue on white vinyl.
The box set will include 10 albums across 14 pieces of wax, 10 CD albums, a limited edition print and liner notes by music journalist Rob Young. You can preorder the box set through Pledge Music and after the limited editions are all gone you’ll be able to grab all of the albums separately on plain old black vinyl.
