Black vinyl

A limited Edition of 1969 numbered copies pressed into 180 gram virgin vinyl and rather beautifully (and horribly expensively, as it turned out) packaged. The music was recorded in California in 1999 with guest Beth Custer (clarinet) on one track. Carefully mastered by Thomas Dimuzio in wide frequency, solid footprint, broad compass stereo. Solid and expansive. Though we waved goodbye to vinyl decades ago, we felt this release was made to be an LP - a CD just wouldn't be the same, sonically, visually or ontologically. And of course we took advantage of the exaggerated dimensions and physicality to make it a thing visually to savour. Off the groove, Dimuzio, Cutler, Frith and Custer do what they do and you get a ringside seat - as well as something exquisite to look at and play with while you listen. A thing of beauty. The first 150 will are signed and numbered on ochre vinyl, and 500 are pressed to white vinyl, so please order early to get these. The Wire enthuses "a heroic protest against the audio hygiene of digital studios - a rowdy celebration of live musical upheaval and filth."
