Media: Bad Religion to repress Stranger Than Fiction on vinyl

Contributed by alex101. Posted by aubin on Monday, June 1, 2009 at 1:30 PM (EDT)

Bad Religion is planning a very limited clear vinyl repress of their 1994 album, Stranger Than Fiction. The record will be limited to 500 copies on clear vinyl and available only through Interpunk.com in celebration of the 15th anniversary of it's release.

Due out July 14, 2009, the record is the band's most successful having gone gold on the strength of singles, "Infected" and "21st Century (Digital Boy)." (The latter originally appeared on Against the Grain)

"Infected" is currently streaming on Bad Religion's myspace page.

This was the first Bad Religion album I got. It was a pretty good one to start on.

Into The Unknown is not bad

BrandonSideleau (June 1, 2009)

its actually a fantastic album

Alex101 (June 1, 2009)

Sorry but no Into the Unknown! To me, it's not a real BR record.

This is blatant editorializing.

So they're repressing their second-worst album

It's not as bad as New America.

$$$$

I liked it better than Recipe for Crap.

royalt (June 1, 2009)

Recipe for Hate is my least favorite album by far

jacknife737 (June 1, 2009)

Meh, it's their best work of the 90s, by far.

Still, I don't really care about the repress, since i don't think about vinyl.

joeg (June 1, 2009)

Forgetting that Against the Grain came out in 1990? That record alone smashes anything they've done since then, let alone the 90s.

jacknife737 (June 2, 2009)

No, i didn't forget.

I still prefer Stranger Than Fiction

Come and see the violence inherent in the system!

RossHostage (June 2, 2009)

Hilarious, my band is using that sample on our upcoming EP.

SmellTheGlove (June 1, 2009)

My ipod just burst into flames while docked into my ipod boombox. Jesus Christ.

My warranty better cover this. There goes ipod number five. Is it against the law for these things to last more than a year?

ChadReligion (June 1, 2009)

The title track is probably the best on the whole album

Great record though

baldsteve (June 1, 2009)

Agreed on that, only I really hated was putting 21st Century on there again

souls21 (June 1, 2009)

This was the second bad religion record I ever got and it is one of their best releases....Marked and Better Off Dead are two of the most underrated bad religion songs of all time...

AmericanRiot (June 1, 2009)

is there going to be a digital download for the vinyl repress as well if i don't have a record player?

bryanmatic (June 1, 2009)

if you don't have a record player then why are you buying vinyl

you crazy kids

Xbat-miteX (June 1, 2009)

I'd buy this if I didn't already have the first pressing on red vinyl.

Download cards? Dude save up $100 and buy a friggin turntable. They seriously aren't that expensive and totally worth it

JoelSweetheart (June 1, 2009)

I read "Bad Religion to repress Stranger Than Fiction " to mean supress.

misterspike (June 1, 2009)

Still my favorite BR release.

Alex101 (June 1, 2009)

Yup, same here!

ChrisRogueNation (June 1, 2009)

I think this is a worthy BR album, but my question is how much will it cost? I went into my local record store (which has very reasonable prices) on Record Store Day and saw that the first BR 7" reissue was selling for $9. I already have these tracks on the 'How Could Hell Be Any Worse?' reissue so why should I spend $9 on a 7 "? I've pressed records before so I know how much they cost to press. I love the band, but I hope they reconsider their prices on these limited edition records they're pressing these days.

WorryRock (June 1, 2009)

Good because I have the original pressing, and it sounds like shit.

CaptainCook (June 1, 2009)

I wonder why there hasn't been a "remastered" CD out yet. Does WB/Sony still own the rights for the record? The original CD sounds just fine.

Yes, I know this is about vinyl dabnabit, but it's still related...
