bear801 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Got this email today. Amazing album. GENTLEMEN AT 21 presents the original record’s 11 tracks, updated but still retaining the 1993 album’s blistering swagger. The same 11 tracks that have made a visceral connection with fans over the last 21 years – the deeply dark and confessional lyrical content, the no-frills production qualities, and Greg Dulli’s soul-baring vocal performances captured on tape. In addition GENTLEMEN AT 21 includes all the original demos for the album, which were recorded at John Curley’s Ultrasuede studio space in Cincinnati. These eight tracks show the stark foundation of the songs, giving a deep insight into the creation of the album while at the same time revealing some remarkable moments caught on tape. The bonus material also includes the original Debonair single b-sides, including “Mr. Superlove” and a cover of the southern blue-eyed soul classic “Dark End of the Street,” along with three songs recorded live for KTCL in Denver, previously issued on the What Jail Is Like EP. The set comes packaged with a faithful reproduction of the original sleeve art and its striking front cover image, a homage to Nan Goldin’s iconic “Nan and Brian in Bed, New York City,” that has proven to elicit just as profound a connection for the fans as the music on the album. GENTLEMEN AT 21 arrives on October 28th as a 2-CD set for $19.98, digitally for $14.99 as well as the single original remastered LP for $24.98. A triple LP deluxe edition with the bonus material will be issued on November 28 on 180-gram vinyl for Record Store Day at $59.98. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Very interested in the demos, but I may stick w/digital there. I already have a nice copy of Gentlemen and the 12" singles around its release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boojie Horsie Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 been looking for that record, i hope its just released on RSD and not limited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I think the deluxe issue is coming on Black Friday RSD this year, but should not be nearly as difficult to snag as April RSD items tend to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochambo Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I can't believe it has been 21 years. I'm old. Very interested in the demos, but I may stick w/digital there. I already have a nice copy of Gentlemen and the 12" singles around its release. I'm in the same boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
