Vinyl Record News & Music Notes

Junta Deluxe Edition (On Sale) by Phish

"Junta" is the first full-length studio album from the band Phish. The original 1/4" analog session tapes (recorded in 1988-1989) were mastered by Bernie Grundman Mastering creating an analog-to-analog vinyl master for "Junta Deluxe".

This 3-LP 180g vinyl set was manufactured by Furnace MFG. Original art by Jim Pollock.

"With great sound and better playing, Phish's debut Junta is highly recommended whether you're starting to discover Phish or are backing up to the beginning. It may be a bit long-winded and unfocused, yet it establishes their dedication to musical exploration effectively -- not to mention the typical wild and woolly Phish humor spilling out all over the lengthy tracks." - Steven McDonald (All Music Guide)

LIARS RELEASE EXCLUSIVE  “Mess On A Mission” String Embedded LIMITED EDITION 12” VINYL FOR RECORD STORE DAY - APRIL 19th, 2014

New Album Mess Out March 25th 

LIARS (Angus Andrew, Aaron Hemphill and Julian Gross) announce details of a unique, exclusive Record Store Day release. “Mess On A Mission” will be released on a limited edition vinyl embedded with string.

Says Angus Andrew: "We talked about the idea for days but weren't at all sure it could physically be done. After all, pressing bits of colored string into the actual vinyl was nothing we'd ever heard of before. To us it seemed like such a unique and interesting way to extend the visual language of Mess right inside the music."

“Mess On A Mission”, described by GQ as a "…frantic synthstorm" and by SPIN as "Rave-Punk Ripper" comes backed with remixes from Black Bananas (Jennifer Herrema of Royal Trux / RTX / Drag City) and Silent Servant (Sandwell District / Hospital Productions) plus an exclusive b-side, “Blah Vets”. This limited release will be available exclusively on Record Store Day - April 19th - and will follow the release of Liars' seventh studio album, Mess, out on March 25th, 2014 on CD, double vinyl, download.
