Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

Sam Roberts to Give 'The Inhuman Condition' First-Ever Vinyl Pressing Through Paper Bag Records

AVAILABLE MARCH 5TH ON LIMITED EDITION 180 GRAM BLUE VINYL

For the first time ever since its 2002 release, The Inhuman Condition is being released on vinyl. This six-song EP marked the breakthrough for Canadian favourite Sam Roberts. The Inhuman Condition has reached certified gold status and sold over 50,000 copies to date, making it one of the most successful and bestselling EP's by a Canadian band in the history of Canadian recorded music.

The Inhuman Condition, was a heaven-sent prophecy from the classic-pop gods translated into street-level terms, and while there was no denying Sam’s way with ultra-addictive melody, he also displayed astonishing breadth in just six tracks, from knockout power-pop punches ('Don’t Walk Away Eileen) and moody folk mysticism ('Brother Down,' the official soundtrack of summer 2002) to extended psych-pop jams ('Where Have All the Good People Gone?) and middle-finger-waving rockers ('This is How I Live').

Sam and the band have decided to release just 500 copies of the limited edition 180 gram blue vinyl, making it a real souvenir for fans of the band. The EP includes the original versions of hits ‘Brother Down’ and ‘Where Have All the Good People Gone’.

Tracklisting:
1. Don’t Walk Away Eileen
2. Brother Down
3. Where Have All The Good People Gone
4. Everything Was Alright
5. My Love Is Freeing
6. This Is How I Live
