DANIEL JOHNSTON - Artistic Vice (Remastered & Expanded) - 2LP - Light Blue / Peach Swirl Vinyl [OCT 18]

2LP - Limited Collector's Edition Light Blue (LP1) / Peach Swirl (LP2) Vinyl.  

Artistic Vice' was the first album on which Daniel Johnston fronted a band. This album is a testament to Johnston's own innate musicality that the songs lend themselves so perfectly to the casual accompaniment heard here. They can shift easily from quiet country balladry to punkish rave ups. As always, his songs are direct, honest, hook-laden, and imminently coverable.

The 33 year collector's edition vinyl release of Artistic Vice includes heartfelt words from his EYE Band bandmates, a specially designed lyric booklet with rare photos, colored peach and light blue vinyl, and an entire second record with Artistic Vice outtakes, rehearsals, and unreleased songs that were supposed to make the original album in 1991. And, last but not least, we asked Daniel's friend and producer Kramer to remaster the records to give it extra sonic love and rock n' roll power. Just the way Daniel would have wanted it!
