(PR) It's no secret that vinyl is back and the demand for this format is soaring. So, we at Porterhouse Records have created a new imprint, Prime Vinyl specifically focusing on releasing fan favorites and out-of-print gems in the 12" vinyl format.The first scheduled Prime Vinyl release will be "Wild Gift," the second studio album from Los Angeles' greatest punk rock act ever X, which will arrive in stores October 6, 2009.
Hailed by Rolling Stone Magazine as "the finest American punk album ever" "Wild Gift" has long been considered one of the most relevant recordings of it's time and stands as a landmark to the originality and creativity of the Los Angeles quartet. Out of print in vinyl format for well over 15 years, long time fans will appreciate the time and care that has gone into creating this re-issue product. Including re-mastered audio at today's highest standards, 180 Gram premium vinyl and dead accurate artwork and lyric sheet reproductions as per the original Slash and Electra releases.
Prime Vinyl, will be releasing 3 of the bands first 4 albums in their original format. "Under The Big Black Sun", and "More Fun In Then New World", will also be getting the treatment, and are scheduled for release in the spring of 2010. The members of X themselves are overseeing and will approve all of these re-issues to ensure that they are true to the originals in every way. We look forward to bringing these titles to X fans everywhere
