At last, all you Lid fans waiting for Tired Sounds and Refinement of the Decline will be rewarded!

Reissue just announced. Your patience is rewarded

Wow, awesome news. Got a link mate?

Ian I bet you're grinning now

YAY!

EDIT: oops I'm broke, shite.

Are you pulling our proverbial legs?

Can't find any news on this on google.

Check out Adam Wiltzie on Facebook. Says its two months away. Start saving AB

I think only his friends can see that post.

Regardless, I am so stoked.

Yeah saving might be a problem lol, seeing as I'm out of work for the time being!

Sell a kidney?

The way I see it:

Lid of Wax > Use of two functioning kidneys.

Quite. Easy for me to say of course. Already got em

Did I mention already Fugee?!? Lol

Oh really? No you didn't... though, did I? (I do btw, and now I lament my decision to pay megabucks just last year for these two albums)

Yes, yes I am.

As a side note, I also wonder if this is a precursor to new Lid too? Would make sense for this release to coincide somehow, cash in on the hype etc.

Excited! Stoked that you guys all get to enjoy these seminal release on wax too. Lid on vinyl is one of lifes great joys.

Mex can you post a screen shot of his post? Nice one.

Some of my very favourite albums right there!

Hmmm. Appears to have been deleted. Guessing Kranky asked them to take it down??

As the kids say...

My jimmies are successfully rustled.

Noticed Kranky just added 'December Hunting..' to their Soundcloud. The description talks about the repress being released '8/14'. Assuming that's an American date, hence August 14th?

From the Kranky website:

06.17.15
this is the bestest news for all you Stars of the Lid fans: we are finally reissuing the two most recent albums on the 3LP vinyl format after both have been out of print for so many years we can't even count that high. the classic "Tired Sounds of..." and "And Their Refinement of the Decline" are both continually argued as being the best album in the SotL catalog, and we could make a strong case for either to receive that title. suffice it to say that both are essential listens and both should be essential elements of any modern music collection. unfortunately the price for these will be high as costs for printing, pressing and shipping have all soared since we last had these in stock, but that cost is small compared to the enjoyment of listening to these absolute gems. we will start taking pre-orders now here and will begin mailing copies the week before the august 14th rerelease date. better grab while the grabbing is good!

Has this image been around before? New artwork? Anyway, really excited for this!
Two of my favorite albums of all time.
I wouldn't mind a new SOTL album either though

Looks like the original art to me??
