For several years I've wanted a copy of The Avalanches' Since I Left You LP - call it sampledelic, or plunderphonic, leftfield or abstract... it's just magnificent from start to finish. Sadly, copies have commanded hundreds of dollars and no reissue had been available to date.
Out of curiosity last week, I took a look at the official Avalanches FB page to see if there was any discussion going about a potential reissue. That's when I saw that one was planned THREE DAYS from that date!
BETTER STILL, it was rumored to be the Original Australian Zomba Promo Mix - the band's intended album before they had to remove several uncleared samples!
My copy arrived today from Germany, but sadly international postage was not kind to the package. One corner is crushed and I've reached out to the distributor to see what they can do.
Regardless, I'm absolutely stoked to have their first album (and their newly-released follow-up) in my vinyl collection!
