Spiderland (remastered) To Be Issued in Non-Box-Set Vinyl, CD, and Digital Formats On June 24
All 3,138 copies of the SLINT Spiderland (remastered) Box Set were sold out long before the release date of April 15th, before receiving a perfect “10” on pitchfork.com, and before the 5-star review in the May issue of Mojo. Ever since early March, when we turned off the ability to pre-order the box set from our web site, the Touch and Go inbox has been overflowing with requests that we release a more modest version for those who missed out on, or could not afford, the limited edition box set.
In response, we are very excited to announce the June 24th release of Spiderland (remastered) as a single 180 gram LP + DVD (of the documentary "Breadcrumb Trail"), as a single CD + DVD, and as a digital album.
AND!!! For those who crave something just a bit more unique, we will also be offering a limited edition GREEN & BLACK SWIRL 180 gram vinyl LP of Spiderland (remastered) + DVD, exclusively via pre-order at the Touch and Go Records website (while supplies last) HERE.
Let's just cut to the finer details, shall we? (see below for details)
