WANTED: The Ghost Box Periodical Issue #1 (2007)

This was way back before they rose to the prominence they enjoy today. Pure Julian House, printed as a promo flyer for PR I think, has anyone even seen one? eBay listings are almost non existent since then. A unicorn.

I've got a copy somewhere, which I think was an ebay purchase a couple of years back. It's an a3 size booklet

I wouldn't sell it, but I didn't pay too much from memory either. Tenner at the most as I'm tight.

Will try and root it out later as I have no idea where it is.

So I'm new to this hauntology thing, but really intrigued. I'm still a bit confused as to some elements. Am I right thinking that there's part of it that's found footage/recordings from the 60s/70s put into a collage with nostalgic sounding library music from the era behind it? Kind  of plunderphonics and vaporwave but from an earlier era?

But the other part of the token, am I wrong to think that there are some witchy neo-folk type music that's under the hauntology umbrella? I'd love to discover some of that stuff that has a hauntology vibe. I'm probably far off here, but I'm getting a Broadcast meets Death In June thing when I think of the descriptions here. I get the BoC thing for sure. 

i remember seeing this @ mount analog back in the day when all the ghost box music was only available on cd. btw: folklore also had/has one called 'the dreamer's oracle'

Aye, got one of these in Minty-mint-mint condition. It just sits in a box with some CDs, a pair of Aphex NMEs and an art magazine called Frieze (with Vibert, Paradinas and James in it).

I'd be happy to swap/sell mine, Rubin...send me a message with your bank deets and PIN number pls

You can pretty much pick and choose, it's diversifying as it develops, kinda like vaporwave.

Wow, thank you man. These are great reference points. That Boing Boing article was great, and some amazing music to be discovered there. Really digging Belbury Poly - some truly beautiful haunting material there, that The Willows track.
