Darla Records

On sale. Last 15 copies. Reissue of the second and third Destroyer albums (not including cassettes), back on vinyl where they belong, and in superior versions. The original City of Daughters (1998) LP suffered from frequency related glitches which caused it to skip on many turntables. The original Thief (2000) mix was never satisfying, and the LP/CD was shoddily mastered into mono. Now Thief has been remixed by the original team of Daniel Bejar, David Carswell and John Collins at JC/DC Studios and is available in the intended stereo for the first time ever. Both albums have been remastered by Roger Seibel at SAE Mastering and have never sounded better. The two covers have been re-worked by original artist Lester Smolenksi and printed by Stoughton as an "old style", tip-on, gatefold jacket. Initial pressing of 1000 copies. * Destroyer have released four albums and an EP on Merge Records since 2002, with a new album slated for release this year. * Head Destroyer, Daniel Bejar, is the secret weapon of Matador Records artists New Pornographers. * Original LPs have been eBay fare for most of the 00's. This package is superior on all fronts. * According to various, high-profile media outlets desperate for a story, vinyl is back!
