The limited edition of The xx’s debut album is now also in stock to buy from Phonica. Limited to just 500 copies worldwide, the gatefold edition includes a super-heavyweight 200-gram vinyl version of the band’s acclaimed album plus exclusive Matthew Dear remix of their track ‘VCR’ on a bonus 12″ which also features a beautiful etching on the reverse. In addition, the highly collectible package includes three art prints, signed by the respective band members, and hand-numbered, taken from the films featured in the exhibition.
