Zion Orchestra \u0026amp; Tra-La-La Band with the original 2008 Canadian first pressing of \u003ci\u003e13 Blues for Thirteen Moons\u003c\/i\u003e. Released via Montreal’s independent beacon Constellation Records, this heavy 2xLP set was manufactured with rigorous audiophile care, pressed on premium 180-gram virgin vinyl. As a prominent offshoot of Godspeed You! Black Emperor, the seven-piece collective balances massive walls of roaring punk-rock guitar feedback with sweeping, melancholic string arrangements and choir-like group vocals led by Efrim Menuck. The album layout is intentionally unique, opening with 12 short, minimalist drone micro-tracks (each lasting only a few seconds) before plunging into four sprawling, multi-movement epic compositions on Sides B, C, and D. True to Constellation's dedication to tactile art, the packaging is an exquisite artifact: a heavy, textured cardboard gatefold jacket printed on recycled stock, accompanied by a multi-panel lyric insert sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2008 Canadian import\/release by Constellation, catalog # CST051-1, barcode #666561005115.  First pressing of double album (2xLP) on 180g heavyweight audiophile black vinyl.  Includes all the inserts - double folded poster, crimson booklet \"Himnos de Sion\" and an illustrated promotional postcard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSleeve grades VG+.  \u003c\/strong\u003eVery clean die-cut outer cover with sharp corners, no edgewear, intact spine\/seams.  Just the slightest touch of ring wear.  Includes all original inserts in excellent condition:  custom inner sleeve, foldout poster, crimson booklet \"Himnos de Sion\" and promotional postcard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVinyl grades VG+.  \u003c\/strong\u003ePlays through crisp and clear with no issues.  Very clean vinyl with a couple light surface marks and hairlines visible under magnification, probably 10 or less total across all four (4) sides.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47326165860483,"sku":null,"price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/3553\/6003\/files\/WIN_20260621_19_31_26_Pro.jpg?v=1782089512","url":"https:\/\/cs5music.com\/products\/13-blues-for-thirteen-moons-2008-canada-1st-press-180g-vg-vg","provider":"CS5 Vinyl and Memorabilia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
