Bottle Rockets, The - The Brooklyn Side: 30th Anniversary Edition [2LP/ Bonus Tracks/ Ltd Ed Fire Orange Vinyl] (RSD 2024)

The Bottle Rockets’ 1994 record The Brooklyn Side ranks right up there with Uncle Tupelo’s Anodyne in the pantheon of alt country albums…yet it has NEVER come out on vinyl. We’ve hooked up with original producer Eric “Roscoe” Ambel and mastering engineer Scott Hull to score the original tapes and create an all-analog release of this legendary record…but we didn’t stop there. We’ve also added six bonus tracks to flesh out this 2LP Expanded Edition, winding up with the track that started it all, Brian Henneman’s “Indianapolis.”

Reissued with the full consent and cooperation of the band, this 30th anniversary releasestands as one of our biggest Real Gone coups. Flame orange vinyl limited to 1500 copies worldwide, for Record Store Day 2024.
