It’s been announced that Mogwai’s Come On Die Young will be released as a deluxe edition on 16th June. More details and a stream of Ex Cowboy below.
15 years after its initial release, Mogwai’s iconic second album is to be reissued as a 4LP boxset and 2CD, with over an hour of bonus material on 16th June, 2014 via Chemikal Underground Records. It will also feature more than an hour of bonus material.
‘Come On Die Young’ was – and remains – a hugely accomplished, elegant and important album, setting a benchmark for the fierce intelligence that would characterise Mogwai’s future body of work.
The reissue of ‘Come On Die Young’ – fifteen years after it originally hit the shelves – recognises the vital role this album played in Chemikal Underground’s development as the label approaches its 20th anniversary in 2015.
This deluxe edition of ‘Come On Die Young’ has been painstakingly put together by the band and label, unearthing more than an hour of bonus material including:
- Previously unreleased takes from early Chem19 sessions of ‘Waltz For Aidan’, ‘Christmas Steps’, ‘Rollerball’ and ‘7-25’ which featured on ‘Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait’.
- Seven remixed and remastered album tracks from CAVA sessions pre-dating the final Tarbox recording sessions (see stream below).
- Two previously unreleased tracks ‘Satchel Panzer’ and ‘Spoon Test’.
- Rarities ‘Nick Drake’, ‘Hugh Dallas’ and the 3 track ‘Travels In Constants EP’.
- The original, previously unreleased version of ‘Helps Both Ways’.
- A1 ‘San Siro’ poster for Mogwai’s Barrowland Ballroom show from October ’99.
- Boxset includes 4 x 180gsm LPs featuring the original 2LP and 2LP of bonus material.
- Two Chem19 Demos are exclusive to the boxset: ‘Christmas Steps’ and ‘7-25’.
- Boxset includes a download code for all audio within the box set.
