Description:

Modern Classic Recordings, an imprint of Light in the Attic Records, proudly announces the deluxe vinyl reissues of Morphineâ??s final two studio albums: Like Swimming (1997) and The Night (2000), marking the very first availability of both titles on wax. Each album has been lovingly remastered by Pete Weiss at Bostonâ??s Jade Cow Music, with lacquers cut by John Golden. Both titles were pressed at Austin, TXâ??s Gold Rush Vinyl and are each available in two colorways. The 1xLP Like Swimming (which features such favorites as â??Early to Bed,â? â??French Fries with Pepper,â? and â??Eleven Oâ??Clockâ?) can be found on opaque blue or translucent red wax, while the 2xLP, 45-RPM edition of The Night (featuring â??Rope on Fire,â? â??Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer,â? and â??The Night,â?) is available on orange translucent or purplish hue vinyl. Rounding out each package is a 20-page booklet, featuring rare and never-before-seen images from the bandâ??s archives, including photos by Lana Z. Caplan and Danny Clinch, artifacts from Morphineâ??s career, and unseen art by the bandâ??s late frontman, Mark Sandman. A major highlight of both packages are the insightful new liner notes by Ryan H. Walshâ??a Boston-based journalist, musician, visual artist, and author of the acclaimed 2018 book Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968. Walshâ??s notes include a handful of new interviews detailing the bandâ??s career, including one of the final interviews with Morphine drummer Billy Conway, who sadly passed away in 2021 following a battle with cancer. Both albums are housed in deluxe gatefold jackets, featuring gorgeous art direction and design by Darryl Norsen at D. Norsen Design, also of Boston. Dedicated to the memories of Sandman and late drummer Billy Conway, both albums were produced with the full support of Morphineâ??s surviving members (drummer Jerome Deupree and saxophonist Dana Colley), as well as the bandâ??s friends, family members, and collaboratorsâ??many of whom shared their memories with Walsh. - 180GR. ORANGE TRANSLUCENT VINYL

Housed in gatefold sleeve with OBI style spine cover, includes 20 page booklet (lyrics, photos, ephemera, artwork by Mark Sandman, liner notes, and credits).

Experience the haunting beauty of Morphine?s final studio album, "THE NIGHT," now available on 180g orange vinyl in LP format. This release captures the band at their most mature and experimental, blending Mark Sandman?s signature two-string slide bass with Dana Colley?s baritone saxophone and Billy Conway?s dynamic drumming. Released posthumously after Sandman's untimely passing, "THE NIGHT" stands as a testament to Morphine's unique sound?a fusion of jazz, blues, and alternative rock that has influenced countless artists since the early '90s. Highlights include tracks like ?The Night? and ?Rope on Fire,? which showcase the band's atmospheric depth and lyrical prowess.
