Posted by aubin on Wednesday, September 16, 2009 at 3:00 PM (EDT)

Influential post-punk outfit Jawbox have announced plans to reissue their 1994 major label album, For Your Own Special Sweetheart. The reissue will be handled jointly by Dischord Records and Desoto Records and will be remastered and packaged with bonus tracks.

The band went back to engineer Bob Weston (Pixies, Jawbox, Shellac) to remaster the album which will surface on vinyl and CD. It will also feature the three tracks from the band's out-of-print, Savory EP. The vinyl LP will include a coupon for a free digital download of all the songs as well.

The reissue is due out November 24, 2009.

For sure. Grippe changed my fuckin' life.

everydayballoons (September 16, 2009)

MPC (September 16, 2009)

And this was a phenomenal record... don't know you if you got my message the other day but email me at michaelpclark@gmail.com and let me know when you're gonna be in Detroit. Icapped2pac said he would meet up too.

baldsteve (September 16, 2009)

Awesome. Should be 2 weeks.

MyStereoHasMono (September 16, 2009)

Stoked on this. Band rules so hard.

danpib08 (September 17, 2009)

They were so fucking good, I really miss them.

eatdogs (September 16, 2009)

what a great album this is.

MattRamone (September 16, 2009)

Can't wait for the self titled to come out. Arguably the best alt rock record of the decade.

baldsteve (September 16, 2009)

IODINE is one of the best songs I've ever heard.

spoon_of_grimbo (September 16, 2009)

that's the song that got me into them, it's amazing!

i've been on a reet robbins kick this week - listened to both burning airlines albums, the channels album and jawbox's self-titled within a few days.

"earthbound" and "tongues" are well underrated j.robbins tracks too.

so, when is the fucking reunion already?????

BTW this is old news, but stoked anyway

foldskool (September 16, 2009)

How in the FUCK did this band not get super huge with an awesome video like this? Kim Colletta is a rock goddess. Kids from the 90's really fucked that shit up.

DrGunn (September 16, 2009)

sweet.

Killtaker (September 16, 2009)

68 from that Savory + 3 songs EP is one of my favorite songs ever.

Jawbox was my first showethat wasn't some big arena rock show or outdorr concert festival, they've always held a special place in my memory, most definitely will be picking up the reissue!

danpib08 (September 17, 2009)

I think some reunion shows are an order.
