Mars Argo CD is a compilation album by Mars Argo. It was released on February 9th, 2012 and features four songs from Linden Place, two songs from Internet Sessions, one song from Technology Is a Dead Bird, one song from the Titanic Sinclair album Thick Jello, and two non-album songs. It is the only Mars Argo album to have been available in CD format, and was exclusively available through the band's Big Cartel page.
Release and promotion[]
The album was first announced through a still image at the end of the "Everything Turns to Gold" acoustic video, which also revealed the duo's at-the-time new merchandise. The album was the only time that the song "Nothing Without You" has been available for purchase, making it the only place the song could be listened to in its original quality.
The CDs were handmade by Mars Argo and Sinclair, with a plain white cover and a black logo spray-painted over it. Various stickers were placed on the CD and packaging. The tracklist was written in pen on a piece of lined paper. Several late-2012 versions of the album featured a purple version of the CD, however the tracklist for this version remained unchanged.
