The Harrow & The Harvest - How to Coffee-Stain Your Album Cover

A tutorial by Gillian Welch and David Rawlings about how to coffee-stain your very own letterpressed CD insert (US version) of their new album, The Harrow & The Harvest.

The letterpress cover is really beautiful. The paper is like almost 1/8" thick. It really was a great idea for such a special cover.

I got a terrific result with Earl Grey tea, second cup out of the pot and with no dilution! Was a little concerned about old coffee odor. The imprint is on special cotton paper and has an amazing texture - all created by artisans in NC .... very cool

The sound quality of the album was heaven

Best album of 2011!!!

[@michaelkoller633]

Thanks for everything

[@cosmicpickle6562]

Very cool idea. Was given the album as a present & told to look here online on how to coffee stain the artwork....
This is not the type of music I normally listen to-i stick with instrumental music of all types-but I totally love this album. Fine work....

I prefer to use Jack Daniels and Coke but you must remember to take the cd out first.

That's cool. Just had a thought - if I eat the covers will I stay awake?

[@JasonUmbrellabird]

Ah, there is method in the madness that is the album insert.

[@fluxedo76]

I bought this album - is it already stained or should I do this myself?

[@jweyek]

I downloaded the album.
I'm out of luck.

[@NotoTruth]

Dark roast or light?
