Special Edition Vinyl 2LP Reissue with Original Album Remastered at Half Speed at Abbey Road Studios from the Original 1/4″ Master Tapes and Expanded with Bonus LP of Outtakes!

After releasing the critically-acclaimed album The Big Freeze in 2019 and giving birth to her first child mid-pandemic, Laura Stevenson presents a special edition double LP reissue of her long out of print sophomore LP Sit Resist with gatefold packaging. The 13-song album has been remastered at the hallowed Abbey Road Studios in London from the original 1/4″ analog master tapes, and the vinyl processed with a new half speed lacquer cut to ensure the highest quality audio possible.

The bonus LP is a collection of outtakes of nearly every album track, including never before heard pre-production demo recordings, alternate mixes and arrangements, live material, an Archers of Loaf cover, as well as a newly recorded version of the album track “Caretaker” which was recorded in 2019 on the literal last night in the house Stevenson grew up in, ten years after the song was originally written there.

The album features liner note essays written by musicians Julien Baker and Lucy Dacus who drew early inspiration for their own music and songwriting from the album. Also contributing liner notes are Pitchfork, NPR and Stereogum writer Nina Corcoran, as well as longtime friend and collaborator Jeff Rosenstock who produced and played guitar on some of the bonus demo material contained in the collection. The packaging also features many never before seen studio photos and tour photography from the era in which the album was written, produced and released, and outtakes from the photo session at which the album’s iconic cover artwork was shot.
