Afghan Whigs vinyl reissues coming in September
Afghan Whigs announced their first three releases on Sub Pop -- Up In It, Congregation, and Uptown Avondale EP -- will be released on vinyl in September. This is incredible news for Whigs' fans, as the two full players have been out of print for several years, and Uptown Avondale was never issued on vinyl in North America.
All three records will be pressed on 180 gm black vinyl (Congregation on double LP with gatefold packaging), plus special edition Sub Pop Loser editions will also be available: Up In It on transparent blue vinyl with white swirl; Congregation on transparent red vinyl with white swirl; and Uptown Avondale on silver metallic vinyl.
The releases will be available through Sub Pop starting September 8th and in retail stores on September 22nd. Limited copies will be available at the merch booth on the Afghan Whigs' upcoming North American tour.
Don't miss Afghan Whigs on the road in North America this fall in support of their new album In Spades. Tickets for all the show on the tour are on sale now. View the tour itinerary below:
