Postal Service Debut Expanded for Double-Vinyl

When Ben Gibbard and Jimmy Tamborello first collaborated for Dntel's "(This Is) The Dream of Evan and Chan", who'd have guessed that the results would inspire the second best-selling album in the history of Sub Pop Records? That's right, The Postal Service's Give Up, released almost two years ago, has outsold every other disc in the label's catalogue, except one, and we're betting you can figure out which one that is. Yes, friends, Mssrs. Gibbard and Tamborello have outsold records by The Shins, Sunny Day Real Estate, Reverend Horton Heat, Sebadoh, and Iron & Wine... but that elusive #1 slot remains occupied by Nirvana.

Perhaps hoping to rekindle interest in the duo enough to push them over the top, Sub Pop is preparing to release a deluxxxe double-LP edition of Give Up. Out November 9th, the collector's edition will be issued on 180-gram colored vinyl (one red LP and one white LP), and will feature all of the B-sides from Give Up's two singles. The B-sides include tracks such as remixes, a cover of the Flaming Lips classic "Suddenly Everything Has Changed", and covers of Postal Service tunes by The Shins and Iron & Wine. The tracklist for the Give up vinyl edition is as follows:

LP One:
01 The District Sleeps Alone Tonight
02 Such Great Heights
03 Sleeping In
04 Nothing Better
05 Recycled Air
06 Clark Gable
