Hallowed Ground 40th Anniversary Vinyl Variations
Sorry a bit late for posting, A new announcement for several new colored vinyl variants have been announced and available for Hallowed Grounds 40th Anniversary complimenting the Femmes recent shows playing the album in it’s entirety. The new variations include Green Smoke which can be pre ordered at the Femmes Official Site and Craft’s site. Also an Orange Smoke variant will be sold in independent record stores, Azure Blue exclusively available at Barnes & Noble and the most interesting of all is the Onyx Black Vinyl that will supposedly be sent to Spotify fans(Little specifics are available) As to the amount produced I have read 500 of the Green Smoke, but no confirmation on that number. The Main Hallowed Ground page has been updated to reflect this information.

Violent Femmes Self Titled Reissued in Deluxe Editions
As many of you are aware Violent Femmes have been touring their 40th year Anniversary this year, earlier putting out a picture disc re issue of the Self Titled. As of now it appears the Femmes are doing a re release of their 20th Anniversary Deluxe album, though this time on Vinyl & CD. The Vinyl Option is a 4 LP Box Set that includes The original Album remastered, Unreleased Demos, Live Tacks, Repress of the 7″ Ugly Single and a book! The Second option contains the remaster, demos, and live tracks in a 2 CD Pack excluding the 7″ Ugly single. I would suggest pre ordering the first option ASAP As the Self-Titled I’m sure will sell out quickly. The Album is set to ship in the first part of February 2024
