Double LP reissue of Air Miami’s lost classic 1995 album, ‘Me. Me. Me.’, remastered from original 2” tapes and now including three extra tracks. This one time pressing comes on coloured vinyl in a gatefold sleeve.

Made up of UNREST’s Mark Robinson and Bridget Cross, Air Miami formed shortly after the DC indie rock mainstay’s demise in 1995, and together with drummer Gabriel Stout and producer Guy Fixsen (The Breeders, My Bloody Valentine, Stereolab), they travelled to their namesake land of Miami to record the entirety of ‘Me. Me. Me.’ over the month of May at the famed Criteria Studios; a place where James Brown, Aretha Franklin, the Bee Gees, Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC and countless more have recorded classic works. The album was then mixed at a studio in London where labelmates Lush were recording their 1996 LP, ‘Lovelife’, at the same time.

Nearly thirty years on, this deluxe reissue sees the 1995 album expanded to include all sixteen tracks from the album sessions, three of which are new to the tracklist: ‘Warm Miami May’ (not on original LP), ‘Pucker’ (previously unreleased), and the full version of ‘See- Through Plastic’ (edited version only previously seen on the EP).

The record also features singles ‘I Hate Milk’ and ‘Seabird’, a track that found new life recently when covered by current 4AD artist Maria Somerville, her first release for the label and part of the label’s 40th anniversary compilation, ‘Bills & Aches & Blues’.

Remastered from the original analogue tapes by Pete Weiss (whose recent remastering work includes Luna, Type O Negative, Morphine and Belly), ‘Me. Me. Me. (Deluxe Edition)’ sees the album now spread over two LPs and cut at 45rpm. Pressed on Floridian-inspired coloured vinyl, its stunning artwork is housed in a gatefold sleeve with Hideaki Kodama’s ‘Girl B 1988’ photo still adorning the cover.
