Anglesea EP (10 Inch Pressing)

Reptile Rage is back. This time with a revised version of King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard's first EP, Anglesea. While not as groundbreaking as their later works like Flying Microtonal Banana or Polygondwanaland, it's part of the band's history. Despite being available as part of the band's compilation, Teenage Gizzard, The EP has seldom been reissued on its own. Stu says it's not canon, but that's what the bootlegger program is all about.

The design for this version was based on an old Beatles EP from the UK, a 7 inch 45 RPM record with two songs per side. Unfortunately, the sides on Anglesea are a hair too long for a 7 inch 45, and to cut a 7 inch at 33 1/3 RPM would mean the whole record would have suffered inner groove distortion. In order to preserve audio quality, I've upgraded to a 10 inch. Coupled with excellent remasters for vinyl by Angel Hair Audio (provided by Needlejuice Records), this is pressing will sound great.

It was necessary to upscale Katie Hagebols's original artwork to make it suitable to print. The new version was done with an AI upscaler, and I think you'll be pleased with the results. This will probably be the best this artwork has looked. Special thanks to Deaf Hammers for help designing the back cover and label designs, inspired by The Beatles' EP, Twist and Shout. The record itself will be on clear green vinyl, and the jacket will have a serial number on the back.

I've set the minimum number of pledges to 200 this time to keep the price reasonable. Some will be set aside to send to the band, and some to be available for sale later. I'd like to get as close to 200 as I can, but consider this a pre-order rather than a crowdfunding campaign. Thanks for helping me will this record into existence.
