Album gets vinyl release
With the popularity of vinyl coming back strong in recent times, what better band to get the vinyl treatment than Foghat – who is sold a huge amount of vinyl in the ‘70s!
On October 21, the group’s own label, Foghat Records (foghatrecords.com), will be issuing a double/180-gram vinyl edition of their latest release, ‘Under the Influence.’
Additionally, select indie record stores will be giving away posters with purchase (and select stores are throwing listening parties for the LP along with tastings of Foghat Cellars Wines www.foghatcellars.com!).
“A couple of things I love about new vinyl releases is the re-emergence of an old art form – ie: album cover art and the return of high-quality analog audio played through great old stereos being pulled from the garage and resurrected,” says the band’s guitarist, Bryan Bassett. “It’s black, it’s shiny, it’s beautiful and some really nice noises come out of it! And you can actually read the liner notes and see the photos!” adds drummer, Roger Earl.
Since its initial release on June 24, ‘Under the Influence’ has already proven to be the most successful Foghat release in years – with their presence felt once more on the Billboard Charts (debuting at #17 on “Hard Rock Albums,” and at #40 on “Independent Albums”).
And come October 21, record collectors will be able to obtain the latest jewel of their collection, with the vinyl edition of ‘Under the Influence’!
