Catalogue note
TANK Magazine Volume 4 Issue 1, officially archived by TANK as Issue 31, 'Calvin vs Lanvin', Summer 2005. This was a publication milestone: TANK's own shop describes the start of Volume 4 as a radical relaunch that halved the cover price, doubled distribution and increased experimentation under the slogan 'elitism for all'. The issue includes Tom Vek, Christian Marclay, Christopher Bailey, Daria Martin and the Stefano Galuzzi/Patti Wilson 'Calvin vs Lanvin' fashion story. The cover advertises an exclusive CD compilation featuring The Kills, Tom Vek, Moving Units and others; that originally issued CD is missing from this copy.
Why this object matters
TANK’s documented Volume 4 relaunch is a real change of publishing strategy and format. The missing original compilation CD limits the held package, keeping this outstanding relaunch object at 8.8 rather than Gold.
Evidence limits: Main magazine complete under the standing TMR rule; the original issued CD supplement is missing from this copy, as explicitly confirmed by the owner.
