LARD "The Last Temptation Of Reid" Vinyl Colors Update!
As many of you know, bringing the repress of LARD's The Last Temptation of Reid back into print has been a long and winding road. Pre-orders were taken, setbacks piled up, and the project hit obstacle after obstacle. Ultimately, Jello Biafra decided to pull the release entirely so it could receive a full remaster.
The good news? The test pressing has been approved, production is underway, and we can finally reveal the finished vinyl variants!
Not only has The Last Temptation of Reid been completely remastered under the meticulous supervision of Jello Biafra, but as a thank you to everyone who stuck with us through the delays, every copy will now include a bonus one-sided 12" black vinyl pressing of I Am Your Clock.
That's right! If you already pre-ordered any color variant, you're getting the bonus record at no additional cost. If you're ordering now, every version includes it as well!
Now that this beast is finally moving forward, let's take a look at the colors!
Wide Release Edition – Black Vinyl
For the sonic purists, we present the Wide Release black vinyl edition. This will be the standard evergreen version that we'll continue to keep in print and available moving forward.
Retail Edition
We've also created a special Retail Edition for independent record stores worldwide as a thank you for their patience and support throughout this process. Support your local record store!
Artist Edition
For those who support us directly through the Alternative Tentacles webstore, we've created the Artist Edition. We wanted to make sure there was an exclusive variant available to everyone who orders directly from us.
Patreon Edition
And finally, for the people who help keep this weird little operation alive month after month, our Patreon supporters; we've created something extra special: the ultra-limited Patreon Edition.
These supporters have played a huge role in helping Alternative Tentacles continue doing what we do, and we wanted to thank them with our most exclusive variant.
Want one? Join our Patreon at the Virus Tier for as little as $3 a month and you'll gain access to our Patreon-exclusive store, home to some of our rarest and most limited vinyl variants. Join for higher and you can snag an album each month of your choice.
The only other way to snag these editions is by catching us at select events where we're vending. In fact, we'll be at TENTACLEFEST this Saturday, June 27, at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. Sadly, The Last Temptation of Reid won't be there yet, but we'll have plenty of other amazing limited editions and exclusive releases on hand.
Thanks again to everyone who waited patiently while we got this release right. We can't wait for you to finally hear, and hold, the definitive edition of The Last Temptation of Reid.
