American Football - American Football (25th Anniversary Silver Coloured Vinyl) (Vinyl LP)

American Football - American Football (25th Anniversary Silver Coloured Vinyl)

American Football cut its first—and, for a long time, only—LP in four days, as the spring of 1999 slid into summer. Steve Holmes, Steve Lamos, and Mike Kinsella were college kids who knew that as soon as their album of spacious and tenderly sad songs was done they likely would be, too. Made at the end of the last century, American Football, or LP1, unequivocally stands as one of this century’s most influential rock records.

After a years-long hunt for the original Digital Audio Tapes and a subsequent quest for a machine that would render them properly, American Football has been lovingly remastered by original mastering engineer Jonathan Pines in Urbana’s Private Studios, where it was recorded. The intertwined guitars have more sparkle, the drums more bounce and flash, the occasional bass more depth. This is the definite version.

2024 remaster comes with 2 silver 45 RPM vinyls, embossed gatefold jacket on metallic silver stock, printed cardstock innersleeves and expanded packaging includes a large-format 24-page booklet featuring new liner notes and handwritten lyrics by Mike Kinsella.
