Christie Front Drive Rides Again
By: Press Releases
Last updated June 28th , 2010

This update comes from Brent Eyestone, the kingpin from Magic Bullet Records.

Notes on Christie Front Drive "S/T": For a dude that started the label when I started it and listened to the music I liked over all those years, simply writing a blurb for this release is just fucking insane. Easily one of my favorite records of all time, "Christie Front Drive," "S/T," and "Magic Bullet" were definitely never three phrases I ever thought I'd be able to put in the same sentence. But years go by, old labels fold, new friendships are made, and the demand for classic records never stops.

So here we are. 14 years after the initial pressing on Caulfield, and several years after slipping out of print, "S/T" (aka "The Stereo Record") is back in print. In digging out the original masters, we discovered an alarming truth: the original version was mixed, but never mastered!    So while we've preserved all of the original mixes and song order, the entire album has been mastered for the first time ever at the brilliant hands and ears of Jen Munson. Additionally, lacquers for the vinyl were cut expertly by Joe Lambert Mastering. As if that weren't enough, each copy of the CD and LP come with a bonus DVD featuring the band's final performance in 1996 (plus photos and easter eggs), updated layouts by yours truly, deluxe digipak packaging for the CD, an actual insert in the LP, download codes, color vinyl, black vinyl, and more. 

On top of the CD, LP, and DVD, we've also reissued the only shirt design that the band made back during their run... 20 originally made for Detroit Fest, now in an edition of 100 for mailorder. People who order the shirt will be able to add the CD/DVD for $3 less than ordering it by itself. Enjoy.
