In celebration of its 10th Anniversary, Blitzen Trapper reissue their eponymous 2003 debut album for Record Store Day on April 20th.
Blitzen Trapper Deluxe Reissue is released via the band’s own LidKerCow label and includes five bonus tracks (four previously unheard) from the original recording sessions.
The record was re-mastered specifically for vinyl by Bruce Barielle with the lacquers cut by Jeff Powell at Ardent Studios in Memphis, TN on the same lathe that was housed at Stax Studios.
Looking back on the album, Blitzen Trapper’s frontman Eric Earley stated, “I don’t remember much about making this first record, too long ago maybe. I guess I remember this Mexican dive bar…
320 kbps | 118 MB | UL | CL | MC
…we’d go to after sessions with GW (Gregg Williams) who was engineering the record. We’d drink tequila and play pool and watch Blazers games. Drew took the cover shot down at the coast at some junk shop off the highway. An Indian and a zebra. That says it all.”
