''Closes Vol. 1'' is Boards of Canada's third known release. It has been said that the album is "even less imposing" than the band's first known release, ''[[Catalog 3]]''.<ref>http://www.scaruffi.com/vol6/boardsof.html#boc</ref>

Closes Volume 1

Running time(s) 56:22


Closes Vol. 1 is Boards of Canada's third known release.

The album has not been heard by those outside of the band's family and friends. MP3s labeled "Godever" (1:46), "Treeline" (1:12), and "Trillions" (3:31) are not the tracks from Closes Vol. 1; the latter two are definitely not by Boards of Canada.

4 tracks have the title Close1 through Close4. Some track titles have mathematical connotations: Tends Towards (from analysis, limits, etc.), Numerator (fractions), Trillions, 5d (5-dimensional).

It was originally a cassette, but has been repressed on CD in 1997 [1] [2].

In 2014 on PIC's own photography website, under a category called "In Life And In Song" he posted a high-resolution scan of what could be the origin of the cover without the "b.o.c closes vol. 1" marking in the top-right picture which was surely edited before the album's release.

The fact that in the time-stamp present in both the original source and artwork of the album, the year 1997 is present which matches the year in which the album was re-pressed on CD, could mean that the original 1992 cassette release has a totally different artwork. [3] [4]
