Comedy Minus One announces a long-overdue deluxe reissue of Silkworm's out-of-print 1994 album "Libertine" (cmo019), the third and final full-length record by the band as a quartet.

 

This is a double 12" pressing with a supplementary CD including "The Marco Collins Sessions" as well as two additional recordings from the band's time at Pachyderm Studio.

 

Includes all-new artwork throughout (the revised cover is pictured at the top of this post) plus a full color insert with liner notes by Silkworm's Tim Midyett.

 

Mastered from the original 1/2" tapes by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service.

 

Pressed on 150 gram 45 rpm vinyl at Gotta Groove Records.

 

Preorders are available NOW and will be available until June 11.

 

This project is the most expensive/expansive release Comedy Minus One has done to-date, an opportunity to present a definitive edition of one of our all-time favorite albums. The following two month preorder will help gauge exactly how many copies of the "Libertine" reissue realistically need to be manufactured. It will also help fund this substantial undertaking.

 

The items offered via preorder will, with the exception of "Libertine" itself, not be available in stores.

 

The record is also being sold here for less than the targeted list price.

 

This is one of three different preorder options. Choose the one that's right for you!

 

The "Libertine" 2x12" + Shirt bundle ($40) can be ordered here.

 

The "Libertine" 2x12" + Shirt + More bundle ($75) can be ordered here.

I am really excited for this. I nearly bought an original a few weeks ago. It's always nice seeing Bob Weston's name on things too.

I've been watching eBay for this for a while. Happily ordered.
