My concept of The National - Alligator (20th Anniversary Vinyl Pressing)

The National has been my favorite band since 2008. Alligator is my favorite album ever. I've run a YouTube channel about collecting records called Too Many Records since 2015, which turned into a record label in 2019 and a brick and mortar record store in 2022. I've thought a lot about this. Obviously it's just a dream scenario, but I feel like if they did 1000 copies of a remastered 2LP and then 200 copies of a super deluxe, it would 100% sell out.

-Remastered (desperately needs it) audio

-2LP: First disk is the album, Second is the B-Sides (thrilling of Claire, driver surprise me, warm singing whores, maybe a shelved track..?) and the D side of that is live tracks from that era (I'll curate!! Maybe... Secret Meeting, City Middle, Baby We'll Be Fine, Daughters, All The Wine)

-Disks are a mid green with black marbling

-Jacket is a hardcover book with built in sleeves on the inside for the disks, interior has pictures from the era (and an essay from me of course… kidding… but maybe??)

-Jacket has texture to it like pseudo alligator skin like the Macklemore - The Heist box set

-Bright green spot foil over the text on the cover and track list on back

Anyway thanks for reading my nerdy little write-up. Here's hoping that the Gator Gang gets our wish and Homecoming 2025 happens with an Alligator full performance.
