For the first-time ever on vinyl, release of Shihad’s self-titled, third album in a deluxe 2LP set with an additional 10-inch of the 1998 BLUE LIGHT DISCO EP. This attractive package is vinyl heaven for Shihad fans and vinyl junkies.
It is nearly 20 years since the album was released in October 1996. This album was the breakthrough release for the band with the radio hit Home Again achieving airplay on both sides of the Tasman. This iconic song remains the anchor song in their ever-popular concert set.
The third album is longer than their earlier vinyl reissues CHURN and KILLJOY, so it could not be squeezed on to a single disc without diminishing volume and audio quality. The presentation of the tracks over two vinyl discs allows the recordings to achieve maximum audio quality and the discs are able to track at 45rpm. The recordings have been re-mastered by Tony ‘Jack the Bear’ Mantz, who has done all the Shihad vinyl reissues.
The bonus 10-inch disc BLUE LIGHT DISCO was ground breaking in that the band achieved sonic success that pointed to the future. They worked with Australian producer, Magoo to realise the band’s production goals.
