    I just realized today that this box set has the signatures of the band when I added it to my collection. Although this item shows in the notes that "Inside cover of gatefold includes signatures of all band ", the signatures for my set is on the back-side of album, on either side of the track listings. I should investigate on how to photographs. Anyway, a great sounding album.

      So went to see these guys in Buffalo NY. great show, I went to get some merchandise afterwards and saw this boxed set d as being 80 bucks and autographed by the band. Fair price I thought, and got an accompanying t shirt too.
      I get the box home and open it up it to see a nicely packaged set. But it was totally missing the autographs..
      I was duped..... I feel duped.
      OK so the album, it's excellent as usual Decemberist fare. A bit heavier than usual, but still full of superb songwriting and lyrical wit..

      Probably best if you get the album as is and forget the boxed set though...
      (EDIT): the signatures are inside the sleeve!! - I do declare i am no longer feeling duped
