Eels fans are already spoilt for rarities, thanks to the release of Useless Trinkets, earlier this year (er ... hmm ... strictly speaking, though, they ain't all that 'rare', are they, once they've been included on a major release compilation?).
Now, though, they have the chance to get their probably-not-all-that-grubby mitts on yet more music.
A 'DELUXE NUMBERED & SIGNED 4 LP EDITION - LIMITED TO 2500' of the lovely Blinking Lights and Other Revelations ships tomorrow, according to the band website.
(Caps lock, eh? Who doesn't love it?)
So, this release consists of Blinking Lights... reproduced on 3 LPs, plus (on the fourth) an 'exclusive 17 track live album, MANCHESTER 2005'.
Right now, you can download four free mp3s taken from this live collection – featuring some nice strings. Hurry, though, won't you? Apparently, these tracks are only available until Tuesday (tomorrow).
Here's the link to the free Eels mp3s. Once you've recovered from the colour scheme and 'interesting' font choices, look for the beigeish box on the lower left.
For the lazy or cautious, though, here's Heavy Soil's pick of the four:

Fucking hell (pardon my "French"), over $200 for that? Sure, it's some pretty packaging and an exclusive live album, but... does anyone actually have that much money to spare for basically no new material? Not a single song we haven't heard before... To be honest, I'm quite disheartened by this.
Yes, indeed ... It is rather expensive, isn't it? I guess that's why they felt they had to use so many capital letters.
