This year marks the 40th anniversary of Violent Femmes ’ Hallowed Ground , and in addition to performing it in its entirety on their ongoing tour (get tickets) , the band has announced a vinyl reissue of the album.
Due on November 8th via Craft Recordings, the 40th anniversary edition of Hallowed Ground features a remastered version of the 1984 release, sourced from the original stereo tapes. Beyond the standard black vinyl, the album will be offered in four limited-edition colored vinyl variants, each available from a different retailer.
