VIA PRESS RELEASE | Chrysalis Catalogue presents Copperopolis on vinyl for the first time, accompanied by a selection of bonus tracks.
First released in June 1996, Copperopolis would be the final Grant Lee Buffalo studio album to feature the original line-up of Grant-Lee Phillips, Paul Kimble, and Joey Peters. For Copperopolis, the band expanded on the stripped-down sonics from their first two albums, using the studio to create a layered, more powerful sound, as heard on standout tracks “Arousing Thunder,” “Bethlehem Steel,” and the single “Homespun.” Side four features a trio of bonus tracks, the B-sides “Crashing at Corona” and “Mr. Know It All,” plus the original four-track demo for “Hyperion & Sunset.”
Newly remastered by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios from the original production masters, pressed on two 180g clear vinyl LPs, and housed in a gatefold sleeve with poly-lined inner bags.
Originally released in June 1998 following the departure of long-time bassist Paul Kimble, Jubilee was Grant Lee Buffalo’s fourth and final studio album. For the album’s 25th anniversary, Chrysalis Catalogue presents Jubilee on vinyl for the first time.
Imbued with a joyous celebratory spirit, Jubilee showcases Grant-Lee Phillips’ signature eclectic song writing style with glam infused hard rock and alt-country sounds. Highlights include the single “Truly, Truly,” plus guest vocal performances from Robyn Hitchcock (“My, My, My,” “The Shallow End”) and Michael Stipe (“Everybody Needs a Little Sanctuary”). Side four concludes with the bonus track “Were You There,” a rarity which originally appeared on the promotional CD Yours Truly.
