Three Melvins Albums To Be Reissued by Third Man Records
Hard rock pioneers the Melvins are the latest band to get the vinyl reissue treatment from Jack White’s Third Man Records. The three titles they released on Atlantic Records – Houdini, Stoner Witch and Stag – will be available for the first time on wax since the mid-'90s on June 24, 2016.
The trio of albums will feature new gatefold packaging and additional tracks, including an MC5 cover on the new edition of Houdini. The 16-track Stag will expand to two LPs. All three records were remastered from the original analog tapes and will come in 180-gram, multicolored presentations.
It’s been a busy year for the Melvins. In addition to the just released, multi-bassist featuring Basses Loaded, the outfit released the long-gestating Three Men and a Baby, their 1998 collaboration with godheadSilo bassist Mike Kunka. Osborne and guitarist Dale Crover will be joined on the road this summer by Redd Kross bassist Steve McDonald.
