The Vaselines played a one-off gig in London a few days ago and they just announced some new tour dates including a show at the Music Hall of Williamsburg on May 18, 2009 (Tickets on sale 04/03). The “new” Vaselines record, (which is actually a deluxe reissue), Enter The Vaselines, will be released on May 5, 2009 on Sub Pop.
This new collection is effectively a deluxe-edition reissue of the 1992 Sub Pop release The Way of The Vaselines with a new title and new cover art from the band, and a whole lot of new material (the entirety of the 17-song second CD/third LP has been added). Originally mastered from a cassette tape, The Way of The Vaselines compiled the band’s two EPs (Son of a Gun and Dying for It) and their sole LP release (Dum Dum). Enter The Vaselines is the definitive triple LP/double CD Vaselines collection. It includes new mixes and re-mastered versions of everything by The Vaselines, plus never-before-heard demos, and live recordings from 1986 in Bristol and 1988 in London.
More tour dates and full Enter The Vaselines track listing after the jump.
