L7 announce deluxe reissue of Bricks Are Heavy
The band has also announced a deluxe reissue of Bricks Are Heavy.The limited edition release has been remastered by Howie Weinberg and comes pressed on gold and black vinyl via Licorice Pizza. The pre-orders are now ongoing ahead of its September 30th release.
Spin quoted the band's vocalist and guitarist Donita Sparks as saying:
“After all these years “we began thinking it is strange that we have never received a proper accounting of actual sales to date for this record. We were so close to Certified Gold 30 years ago, surely we have crossed the line by now.”
On April 14, 1992, Bricks Are Heavy was released via Slash Records. The 30th anniversary reissue is slated for release on September 30, which will include all 11 tracks remastered by Howie Weinberg.
Bricks Are Heavy Track List includes Wargasm, Scrap, Pretend We’re Dead, Diet Pill, Everglade, Slide, One More Thing, Mr. Integrity, Monster, Shitlist and This Ain’t Pleasure.
