With The Saints '73-'78 tour less than two weeks away, there's more big news coming out of Saintsville...“Pig City: Live in Brisbane 2007”, the live album that documented the first public show by the three original Saints - Ed Kuepper, Chris Bailey and Ivor Hay - in almost 30 years, is available again. This time with a different mix and released on vinyl and in its entirety for the very first time.
The original line=up of The Saints, plus bassist Casper Wijnberg and accompanying brass section, reformed for Brisbane Festival and drew 6000 people under the Queensland University Big Top, and which also included Regurgitator, Riptides and Ups and Downs.
The double vinyl collection will be released in a limited edition ,including 100 orange vinyl, available exclusively from Artist First. Black vinyl will be available from the merch stand at The Saints ’73-’78 tour and via independent stores.
And for those that have been asking - the box set will also be released on CD, and it will remain in its full 30cm sq format so all the booklet and associated artwork stays intact. The full vinyl and CD collection along with exclusive t-shirt designs is available here.
