Local H have announced the 30th anniversary reissue of ‘As Good As Dead’, their 1996 breakthrough, arriving this summer via G&P Records. Band-approved and freshly remastered, the double vinyl edition is pressed at 45rpm with updated artwork and surprise extras throughout. Pre-order is live now.
Guitarist and vocalist Scott Lucas pulls no punches about what prompted the reissue. “Earlier this year, I was rather rudely awakened to how little respect others have for the record,” he says, pointing to a cottage industry of unauthorized, substandard pressings flooding the market. “Job one with this new re-issue was to reclaim this record and make sure that it continues to be available to all the new listeners that want to have a quality release without having to pay an arm and a leg on eBay.”
The album features seminal tracks “Bound For The Floor,” “Eddie Vedder,” and “Hi-Fiving MF,” and remains one of the sharpest, most ferocious records to come out of the mid-90s alt-rock era. Lucas has come around on celebrating it. “I’ve come to appreciate people’s personal affection for it,” he says. “Especially the younger people who have been coming to the shows the last couple of years. Their excitement is infectious.”
On the heels of successful tours with Everclear and Filter, Local H heads back out this spring and summer with Toadies for a full U.S. run that hits Webster Hall in New York, The Vic Theatre in Chicago, The Fillmore in San Francisco, The Belasco in Los Angeles, and dozens of cities in between.
