ICP Leck Mich Im Arsch

[Vinyl] 7" $6.99

2011, Third Man Records

In the grand tradition of peanut butter meeting Iggy's chest or Bing Crosby getting down with David Bowie, Third Man Records is ecstatic to present the latest in a long-line of unexpected musical pairings... Insane Clown Posse and Mozart. Back in '82, ahem, 1782, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote a piece that's been left out of the spotlight ever since. The title of the piece is 'Leck Mich Im Arsch' or literally translated to English as 'Lick me in the arse.' Understandably this piece has figuratively been swept under the rug. So who better to give this piece it's due respect than the wildly successful, much misunderstood, and divisive Southwest Detroit rappers Insane Clown Posse?

With fellow Southwest Detroit-born Jack White at the production helm and musical backing by Nashville's very own Jeff the Brotherhood, this 2011 version of 'Leck Mich Im Arsch' marries Mozart's melody (and lyrics sung in operatic German) with ICP's poignant lyrical addition in English and Jeff the B's monster-riffs, letting the whole thing tie together in the most beautiful of ways. The b-side 'Mountain Girl' finds Violent J and Shaggy 2 Dope telling tall tales about a shotgun wedding, meth problems and moonshine... all pretty common-fare for a twangy country song birthed in Nashville. Produced by Jack White III.

New represses in!

As vinyl collecting has grown more and more prevalent over the last several years, multitudes of albums have been repressed for new vinyl fans. As Rhino Records says, "Music the way it was meant to be heard- one side at a time."

Most new presses of classics include perks like digital downloads, bonus tracks, colored vinyl, 180 gram vinyl, and more. Here are a few of the many represses we carry at the shop. 

Workingman's Dead, 180 gram: The Grateful Dead's first seminal release of 1970 finds the band in an uncharacteristic acoustic setting paying homage to their country, blues and folk roots.

Featuring concise songs and tighter arrangements, the timeless Workingman's Dead exhibits the band's true essence as American songwriters of the highest order and that their restless ambition existed in the studio as much as it did in concert.

Workingman's Dead introduced such all-time Dead classics as "Uncle John's Band" and "Casey Jones" among others.

The Jimi Hendrix Experience/Axis: Bold As Love

Authorized Hendrix Family Edition on 180 gram vinyl! Includes LP sized rare photo booklet.
