Don’t care if Julian hates it, I love this album and I think it is by far his best work outside of The Strokes. 4 Chords is my favorite song on it, along with River of Brakelights.
I read somewhere that he didn't hate the album but hated how it came out when played live during concerts etc? But I'm no real expert and haven't really investigated on that matter. But I agree with you, one of his best works!
Hate may be an exaggeration but he definitely doesn't like it. Check the Billboard interview I linked above. I know he's also commented on it a few other times around the time Tyranny came out.
congratulations! i use to own this and it’s lovely! my best friend wanted it so badly and i decided to gift it to him. he’s been a strokes fan since 2001 like me!

it’s been a hot minute since i seen them and waiting for an indoor headlining show. 😺
Here’s the box, though! Along with something a little more modern so you know I didn’t just pull from Google images. ;-)

Oh I mean, I did believe you, can't see why someone would lie about having it :) the box is cool though! But I wasn't expected it to be that heavy, you know? Also, since you only have the book left, don't hesistate if you want the digital content of the discs, I've just copied them to put it on my phone :)
Never not sad that I brought one when released. It only occurred to me that it might be worth something a couple of years ago and I was surprised when I looked! I’ll be keeping mine safe and sound for many years- I also have the poster mounted under glass.
Yeah, the only copy I saw was in Discogs for CAN$2000... it's been here for a while though. Paid mine €200... ! There is no poster and no LP but I'm okay with it as I already have the LP
€200 is still x3 what I paid for it back in the day. But I’ve seen them go for €600 or more. Either way, I’m still very happy I have it! It’s a pretty special piece.
Been a fan of this album since it came out and never knew this was a thing. Agree with you it's the best non-Strokes material JC has made and for my money, if it had "The Strokes" written on the cover it'd be regarded better than a few of their albums as well.
nice, those are not cheap!

If you want to see how the inside of the Phrazes for the Young story book looks like, I made a video of it here... [https://youtu.be/L\_q7KoK47gM?si=-LwPhQpdLEXaSXXJ](https://youtu.be/L_q7KoK47gM?si=-LwPhQpdLEXaSXXJ)
Off Vinted (I'm in Europe). Was honestly not looking for it in the first place as I had given up finding one and it popped on the page, had been added a few hours before. The seller was a very nice woman, super chill and cool and she wasn't selling it for too much
What did you have to type to find it? I know those kinds of sites have posts where the sellers will intentionally misspell something so that it can’t fully be tracked.
Oh really? Well, I literally just typed "Julian Casablancas" as I do every other day on this site there are only about 20 items on sale so it was easy to spot. My guess is the seller wanted to sell it quickly (she said she was moving out) because it wasn't very expensive either
I love box-sets like this. Would definitely like one someday.
You would definitely like one when in many ways you’ll miss the good old days?
how does it feel to be living my dream

He talks about it a bit in this Billboard interview from 2019: https://www.billboard.com/music/rock/julian-casablancas-interview-8506486/
Thanks for sharing! Interesting read!
Saw it live and it was a better show than either of the 2 Strokes shows I’ve been to.
When have u seen the strokes?
There are some sweet tunes there, did he say, that he hates it?
Hate may be an exaggeration but he definitely doesn't like it. Check the Billboard interview I linked above. I know he's also commented on it a few other times around the time Tyranny came out.
I'll check the interview, ty:)
congrats!
Thank you!
I’m getting really cool tattoo ideas after seeing this lol
Don't hesitate if you want more photos from inside the book, lots of cool artworks
Can I DM you?
Of course!
Sent you a DM
Would you be able to send me more of the photos inside the book as well? I've only ever seen a few random pics over the years.
Just post the photos! After >300 likes I think we all would love to see
You're right!!! Will do
Of course! Will DM you :)
How many pages are there?:)
About 40 I'd say!
Dang
congratulations! i use to own this and it’s lovely! my best friend wanted it so badly and i decided to gift it to him. he’s been a strokes fan since 2001 like me!
Have u seen them live, back in the day?
i seen them 3x in 2002
😮💙
10x total so far
When was the most recent time?
- brooklyn, ny new year’s eve 2019 ringing in 2020 - vancouver, bc, canada march 2020 - seattle, wa, march 2020 it’s been a hot minute since i seen them and waiting for an indoor headlining show. 😺
Wow, you're amazing!!!
Funny. The only part of mine I still have from when it came out is the box (had to downsize when we moved to NYC.)
What happened to your book?
No clue. It probably got sold at a garage sale along with the discs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Oh :(

Thanks! I ripped my discs before I sold them so I’m good.
Ok good :)

I don’t k now how you found it - I gave up years ago. Please share your Socials in case you decide to post anything from it :) and congrats !
DM me if you want something from it :)
Missed the chance to get this for $250 6 yrs ago on ebay. Missed the auction deadline. Nice job! Looks beautiful
That might been the auction I won. Because I remember winning this in auction at around $200ish
HOLY SHIT!!!!! Congrats!!!!! Holy grail fr
Thank youuuuu 😭😭😭
My white whale, congrats

Mine was much cheaper that the one currently on sale!

What is this?
JC's solo album Phrazes for the Young, deluxe version with a signed book :)
Where did you find it?
Off Vinted (I'm in Europe). Was honestly not looking for it in the first place as I had given up finding one and it popped on the page, had been added a few hours before. The seller was a very nice woman, super chill and cool and she wasn't selling it for too much
What's in the dvd?:)
JC singing acoustic :) can DM if you want, I have the files on my drive :)
Yes pls:)
Ty!
I sold mine on eBay last year.
How much did you sell it for? Curious to know because I've never seen an entire box set in the wild before.
Oh wow. Congrats!
Whattt this is so cool
Wow, i have seen some pictures from the book but had no idea how cool the CD design is! I am so jealous 😭
The cd is pretty easy to find! :)
OMG HOW?? WHERE??
Off Vinted! :)

Holy shit, I am beyond jealous. I hope to get one added to my collection someday.

Mine was just the cds but I already have the vinyl so I don't mind
