impact Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 "I just got back from LA, where I remastered Jawbreaker's first full length Unfun lp with the great John Golden. With a 24 bit transfer at a higher sampling rate, the new version sounds great and is closer to the original analog tapes than when we first went to cd way back in 1991. I am still assembling it, and plan on releasing it on iTunes/Rhapsody, etc. (it's never been available online) in a few months, as well as on vinyl and regular old cd on Blackball Records (blackballrecords.com). I heard from Shredder Records that there's been some speculation as to why we took the record back. To set the record straight, there is no beef between us and Shredder. Mel was one of the first to champion the band and we remain friends. As anyone in a band will tell you, it's always smart to own your own masters, and we now have our complete catalog and will be releasing everything on Blackball Records, including Bivouac and 24 Hour Revenge Therapy eventually. I don't have to tell you that our relationship with Gary at Tupelo/Communion is solid as well, as we continue to use his Revolver Distribution as our exclusive. There. Now, all of this begs the question: will we remaster everything, and if so, will there be bonus tracks? Yes and very likely. Other Music News: After six years of playing the violin, Mimi has decided to start playing bass. She inherited her Mom's 3/4 scale '65? Fender Mustang and is learning the first Ramones record by listening to the bass/drums/vox channel (right), then switching to the guitar/drums/vox channel (left) and playing along. Try it-- it's how all the greats learned. Stella is taking piano lessons (Suzuki Method) and has already had three play throughs. How can you get a six year old to practice when she's in no playing mood? Sit down at the piano yourself and start fucking up the songs. Last, I'd like to invite my bay area peoples out there to come to a show I'm playing with A Black Light on Friday, February 22 at the Knockout on Mission Street in SF. Here's a flyer: by clicking on it, you will be magically transported to the myspace page where you will enjoy "One Last Swing" and be automatically be added to the friends list. That's me on the drums. If you want to download a higher res version, visit: http://www.ablacklight.com. Thanks a lot!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
