So, first and foremost, these editions are for you guys…the kinda people who will appreciate hearing ‘Song From Practice 1’ actually live from practice 1…we hope we did you proud”. Throughout the ups and downs of the intervening years, it has always been our hardcore audience that has sustained us, and we appreciate you more than you will ever know. We just wanna say that we are so proud and grateful to be in the position that, 15 years on, people still care about these albums - we cannot tell you how much this means. So we spent the last year digging through old boxes and drawers, session notes…even old email accounts to ensure that you guys get EVERYTHING! Every B-side, every unheard session, every demo tape from our first to our last…plus much more, all lovingly remastered from the original tapes (and a few mini-discs, if we are honest…)
“After working so hard to reclaim the rights to our masters, we wanted to make sure that these reissues were done right…that they would be the definitive editions of these records, rather than just a run of the mill re-press. Speaking of the re-issues campaign, the brothers had this to say: These box sets will be individually signed and numbered and limited to 1,000 units worldwide. There will also be a limited edition box-set entitled ‘The Early Years’, which includes all three albums on coloured vinyl, a companion CD for each album featuring all bonus material, and a 20-page ‘Sessions History’ book containing detailed session notes from the band, unseen photographs, and interviews with the likes of Edwyn Collins, Alex Kapranos and Lee Ranaldo who were all involved in the making of the albums. Additionally, all three albums will be released on cassette for the first time. The three albums will be released on Friday 29th July 2022 via Sonic Blew/.Īfter being out of print for many years, the highly sought after vinyl LPs will be re-issued on limited edition coloured vinyl, along with ‘Definitive Edition’ 2CD editions featuring never-before-heard songs out-takes, demos, sessions, covers and remixes. The Cribs have announced details of a comprehensive reissue programme of their first three classic and much-loved albums, The Cribs, The New Fellas and Men’s Needs, Women’s Needs, Whatever.
