Quicksand are planning to commemorate the 30th anniversary of “Manic Compression” with some new releases early next year. Among them are a new vinyl reissue and a new book. Pre-orders can be found HERE.
Further information was shared in a press release:
“Out of print for years, the 30th Anniversary Edition has been remastered for vinyl from the 1995 master tapes by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor) at The Atomic Garden. The deluxe gatefold jacket features expanded artwork, meticulously reconstructed from Melinda Beck’s archival sketches, and is available in several limited vinyl variants.
In celebration of this milestone, Iodine Recordings also presents a limited-edition 64-page hardcover book chronicling the release and legacy of this influential album. The book includes a foreword by Walter Schreifels, never-before-seen photographs, original art, rare concert posters, and more from 1994–1995. It also features written tributes from members of Knocked Loose, Coheed and Cambria, New Found Glory, Bane, Orange 9mm, Limp Bizkit, Drug Church, Touché Amoré, P.O.D., Fiddlehead, Glassjaw, H2O, At the Drive-In, and others. Complete with a case-wrapped, soft-touch cover, this definitive companion piece is an essential addition to any fan's collection.
Manic Compression is both a time capsule and a timeless benchmark — restored in full and re-presented for a new generation of listeners.”
