Bridge Nine to reissue Give Up The Ghost LP
Bridge Nine is super excited to announce that our 10th anniversary re-issue series continues with American Nigh *cough* I mean GIVE UP THE GHOST's first two EP's on one LP. The American Nightmare "Self-Titled" and "The Sun Isn't Getting Any Brighter" EP's, originally released in 2000 and 2001 respectively, were briefly re-pressed as a gatefold two 7" package in 2004 as "Year One". Ten years later, we are putting them both on one 12", and making them available once again. Remastered for vinyl by John Golden at Golden Studios, featuring a big double sided foldout poster insert, and an embossed angel on the LP jacket, this record is getting the proper treatment and no corners are being cut on its production. This is just a heads up that it's coming soon, pre-orders will be posted through Bridge Nine directly shortly!
