Clutch to Release Earth Rocker Live Vinyl on Nov. 26
Clutch start their round of rescheduled tour dates tonight in New Hampshire. You might recall vocalist Neil Fallon had back surgery and the band took a rare break from the road as a result. Well, after an absurdly short amount of recovery time (what’s it been, like five weeks?), Clutch are headed out once again, bringing The Sword and American Sharks along for the latest trek, and they’ve announced a new Earth Rocker Live vinyl to come on Nov. 26 through their own Weathermaker Music imprint.
Captured earlier this year in the Midwest, Earth Rocker Live is set to be a double-picture-disc release with all the songs from 2013’s Earth Rocker (review here) presented in the same running order as on the album itself. A classic idea given a new twist — I’d expect nothing less from Clutch.
The PR wire has details:
CLUTCH to Release Earth Rocker Live Double Vinyl Picture Disc November 26th
CLUTCH has set a November 26th release date for Earth Rocker Live via Weathermaker Music. Earth Rocker Live is a double vinyl picture disc set. The first LP is the studio version of Earth Rocker. The second LP consists of live versions of the same tracks in the same sequence as the original. This is not a live recording of one show. The individual tracks of the live version were recorded at different shows throughout the band’s May 2013 US tour: Houston and San Antonio (TX), Lincoln (NE), Indianapolis (IN) and Fargo (ND). The stunning artwork displays the four Indian heads from the original package in all their colorful beauty: one for each side. This special collectors’ item will be limited to the initial print run and is expected to sell out quickly.
CLUTCH will kick off the next leg of the “Earth Rocker” World Tour tonight in Hampton Beach, NH, immediately followed by a festival appearance in Virginia Beach, VA at “Localpalooza”. These tour dates run through November 23rd in Detroit, MI. CLUTCH will then hit the road for their annual holiday shows and continue on tour through January 18th in Huntington, WV. All dates and links to purchase tickets can be found below.
