In an OBVIOUSLY, COMPLETELY IN-NO-WAY-RELATED story back in July, we expertly informed you that mask-wearing, underground hip-hop/emcee legend MF DOOM was reissuing his debut on vinyl.
Now, like I said, in a completely new news story that has nothing to do whatsoever with that DOOM guy, we’re back again to tell you — both in an H.G. Wells panic and with a little help from our friends at The Vinyl Factory — that the 2003 debut album by a nefarious, triple-headed monster from space named King Geedorah is about to get a “deluxe vinyl reissue.” How terrifying! And… exciting?
Due out on its original label Big Dada on September 30, Leader’s soul, jazz, and funk-tinged “blend of ill lyrics and instrumentals” will be resurrected on “limited double ruby red coloured vinyl, housed in separate card sleeves within a wide spine, where the original 12” ‘cutout’ insert design has been reimagined on perforated card.”
“[The] whole album is Geedorah’s alien perspective on humans,” MF DOOM claimed back in 2003 (though again, I’m not sure why he’s a credible source on this Geedorah character?), and it features many-an-insane performance from a plethora of guest vocalists, including Kurious, MF GRIMM (a.k.a. Jet Jaguar), other members of NYC’s Monsta Island Czars, and others. Either way, go ahead and pre-order your copy now, and reacquaint yourself with the funky sounds of this savvy space lizard down below. (Come to think of it, dude does kinda sound a little “influenced” by DOOM, doesn’t he? What a weird coincidence.)
