(Columbia) Pete Yorn celebrates his first decade as a recording artist with musicforthemorningafter: 10th Anniversary Edition. This double-disc repackaging of his classic debut album will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting March 29, 2011.
To celebrate the re-release of his classic debut, Yorn will perform musicforthemorningafter in its entirety in six cities during his 27-city headlining North American tour: Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. The tour starts February 14th at the Marquee in Tempe, Arizona. (Please see complete itinerary below.)
Released by Columbia Records on March 27, 2001, musicforthemorningafter has been newly remastered by Grammy Award-winning engineer Bob Ludwig. The original 15-song album comprises CD One of this commemorative 10th Anniversary Edition. Collectors will note that the final track of the album, which has remained an unindexed "hidden" track in catalog all these years, is now formally indexed and identified: "A Girl Like You."
The 10th Anniversary Edition adds a second CD, which starts with the entire acoustic performance given by Yorn and his band on "Morning Becomes Eclectic," the popular radio program hosted by Nic Harcourt at KCRW-FM in Santa Monica. The show reprised about half the songs on the album ("Life On A Chain," "Strange Condition," "Sense," "For Nancy ('Cos It Already Is)," "On Your Side," "Just Another," "Murray"), plus a cover of the Smiths' "Panic," and an interview segment.
