“Limited edition heavyweight DMM vinyl LP pressing. © 2000 The Otter Guild ℗ 2009 FatCat Records Published by Rough Trade Publishing Made in England Recorded at the Pistol Ring May '99 to September '99. Songs © The Otter Guild / 2000 Originally released on Animal in the summer of 2000. From the inside of the gatefold: "Not long ago a young boy named Avey and his friend Panda Bear roamed the patch work which covers the land (some call it forest). They were looked upon by Pan and raised by fairies and the Angels of light who play deep within the Wood. 'Let's make the music of childhood,' Avey shouted one day as the two played. Panda thought this idea was a good one. 'I can use my magical Rhythm sticks and you can play your Sun harp,' he said. So the two began to create melodies and Panda brought rhythms from every direction while Avey sang. All of the songs were about wooden toys and invisible friends and filled with the light of the forest. This is the first group of songs they played."”

“Includes 2 copies of 12" EP A Night At Mr. Raindrops Holistic Pharmacy - the copy shrinkwrapped with the main LP is a mispress. Some of these extra copies are housed a blank unprinted cardboard sleeve. The Album and EP are held together by a horizontal Obi strip of the Avey Tare & Panda Bear mask illustration. The hype sticker mistitles the EP as "A Night At Mr. Raindrops Holistic Supermarket". Communication via email from Domino reads: "Unfortunately, we have discovered a pressing error impacting some of the 12" EPs included in the limited edition 3xLP pressing of Animal Collective's "Spirit They're Gone, Spirit They've Vanished".
