LOS STRAITJACKETS - What's So Funny About Peace, Love And... Los Straitjackets (Reissue) - LP - Yellow Vinyl [JAN 16]

LP - Limited Edition Yellow Vinyl. Only 1,000 copies in this pressing worldwide! (2025 Repress). 

America’s Lucha Libre guitar heroes Los Straitjackets have toured with Nick Lowe for over a decade and back up the Jesus of Cool himself on his critically-acclaimed 2024 studio album Indoor Safari. Tour van discussions with Nick’s co-producer Neil Brockbank led to the speculation: What would Nick’s songs sound like as instrumentals?  There was only one way to answer the question.  Los Straitjackets delved into Nick’s catalog — from Brinsley Schwarz through Rockpile to his late career as a soulful pop stylist -- and came up with original arrangements of some of Nick’s most iconic songs.  With Brockbank in the producer’s chair the band veers from Pop (“Rollers Show”) to Twang (“All Men Are Liars”), even Exotica (with the Bolero-flavored “I Read a Lot”), and of course surf (“I Live on a Battlefield”). Here are 13 unforgettable melodies delivered with the flair that only Los Straitjackets can provide.

This pressing is limited to 1000 copies and is pressed on yellow vinyl, marking the album's first time on colour vinyl!
