Oh my.
Oh dear.
I thought I'd take a glance at the official Avalanches FB page to see if anyone had inquired about the chance of one day seeing a reissue of their first LP.
For years I'd accepted that clearing 3,500 samples would be a logistical impossibility in the modern age of copyright.
But there... on their official page... was a statement that a reissue is live and pending... in 5 days!
I verified it against a similar statement they made on Reddit and confirmed it again from a redditor listing a third distributor.
I just ordered it - one of the most important cut-up/plunderphonic/remix culture albums in history... the album which, until today commanded $350 a copy online...
...for $25.
I need to go lie down.
