Does it seem a little strange to pre-order an album that came out in 1972? Yes. Nevertheless, that’s the situation with Poobah‘s classic of underground ’70s heavy rock, Let Me In. Ripple Music, which has overseen the remastering and reissuing of the album, is now taking pre-orders in advance of the October 12 release date.

The PR wire has the details:

With the original 1972 LP fetching upwards of $300 a piece at various auction sites, Poobah and Ripple Music decided it was time to “re-unleash” the album that started the madness. The fuzzed-out, psychedelic, proto-metal masterpiece Let Me In is set to hit the streets on October 12th, 2010 and will be available in CD, digital and deluxe double gatefold 12″ vinyl versions. Fully remastered by T. Dallas Reed (Stone Axe/Mos Generator) the songs have a fresh vitality while never losing the ‘70s edge that made them so endearing in the first place.

The original six tracks will be accompanied by a ton of previously unreleased tracks and never before seen photographs; Let Me In will undoubtedly satisfy the most rabid of Poobah fan! The CD edition includes twelve bonus cuts and an 8-page booklet that features live shots and of the band at some of their most candid moments, while the double LP edition includes 10 bonus tracks and is pressed on two-toned black and white vinyl. Now accepting pre-orders at Ripple Music!
