Released through Volcano Entertainment/Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, there are two expanded vinyl versions of Music – featuring the fourteen original album tracks plus four bonus tracks of pre-production demos from 1992 made available on vinyl for the first time ever – that are available to order now at https://311.lnk.to/music-30

“Hard to believe it’s been 30 years since our first studio record,” says drummer Chad Sexton. “We have decided to release a 30th Anniversary edition vinyl which includes extra tracks never released on vinyl before. These are pre-production album tracks that date back to 1992. A Pearl is the gemstone to celebrate 30-year anniversaries and in line with this concept we are introducing a Pearlized version of the album cover. We hope you enjoy this old classic as much as we did making this record.”
