Murcof – Martes 20th anniversary vinyl reissues update

To mark the 20th anniversary of The Leaf Label, we released an all singing, all dancing vinyl box set. For various reasons, it was delayed until our 21st year, and while it turned out great, we vowed to think long and hard about undertaking a project of that scale and intricacy again. Just five short years later, and we’ve walked into it again.

Who knew that finding capacity for 11,000 slabs of pristine vinyl would be so difficult in the year 2022? Long story short, the Murcof re-issues to mark the 20th anniversary of Martes are being pushed backed. Ultimately, we’re in the business of making great sounding records, not marking the passing of time. We leave that to the speaking clock. The albums will now be released on December 2nd in Europe. Due to extended shipping times they won’t be in stores in the rest of the world until February 2023, but if you have ordered them from Bandcamp you should still receive them by early December.

To tide you over until then, we have decided to release the newly remastered digital audio for Remembranza and Cosmos exclusively on Bandcamp today, including the previously unreleased track ‘Cuásar’ – if you’ve already ordered you should receive a notification. If you haven’t, then today is a good day to order them – it is Bandcamp Friday after all.
