Who cares when it was released? Talk about missing the point…

It was an MCI release in 2007 (friends and family) in Eau Claire in July. I was there too. This was local. The 2008 release will be national.

Indeed, I do have an original copy — I guess I didn’t realize how valuable it might be until I visited indiemuse today. JustaLaLaFa is right: the packaging is great, and I was a bit disappointed to see that it will change with the re-release (although the new cover art does look neat).

I’m from Eau Claire, Justin Vernon’s hometown. I saw Bon Iver open for The Rosebuds here in town in June and then I attended the “For Emma…” release party in July, also here in The Eau C.

As you may know, Vernon befriended The Rosebuds while he was living in North Carolina. He produced some of their latest album and a touring member of the band this summer. Also opening for them was Land of Talk, and Vernon will be producing their full-length debut in ‘08. This should be an interesting collaboration, since they really sound nothing like Bon Iver.

Anonymous, this is definitely a 2007 release. I was at the “release party” ;-)

P.S. it’s a nice website you have there; I like your top 100 list. I am going to add jonkmusic.blogspot.com to my blogroll.

Jonk,

Haha, thanks for the correction. I have a tendency to mess up track names when posting. I think it’s because the uploading of the songs is the last step that I take, and I’m eager to get the posts up, but I should really be more careful, as it’s happened a few times. So.. are you one of the lucky 500 people who has the original album?

Also, I’ve had this album (self-released version) since July. It is most definitely 2007.
