Chris Connelly
The reborn Wax Trax! Records will release an expanded reissue of Revolting Cocks and Ministry singer Chris Connelly’s 1992 solo album Phenobarb Bambalam on CD and vinyl next month, supplanting the original record with a second disc of B-sides, mixes and live tracks.
The label is releasing the new edition of Phenobarb Bambalam on May 15 as a 2CD set and several vinyl iterations, including single-LP pressings on black and swirled vinyl, and 2LP sets on black and clear vinyl, the latter of which comes in a limited-edition bundle that includes a T-shirt.
Check out the pre-order options available through Wax Trax! Records.
Phenobarb Bambalam has been fully remastered for the reissue from the original analog tapes. The first 200 orders through Wax Trax! of the 2LP bundle will include a signed and numbered eight-page booklet featuring Connelly’s previously unpublished poem “Percodan Bambalam,” which was the genesis of the 1992 album.
The reissue also includes “brutally honest liner notes by Chris explaining how and why the album came to be,” according to the label.
