Numero Group to handle reissues for the reunited Codeine
Codeine
Chicago's own archival label The Numero Group, has just announced that they'll be handling a reissue package for the very recently reunited slow-core giants Codeine! The NYC-based group has been defunct since 1994, and hold two LPs, one EP, and a bunch of singles to their name. Their reunion has coincided with today's announcement of the Mogwai-curated ATP UK - I'll Be Your Mirror 2012, which takes place the weekend of May 25th at Alexandra Palace in London.
The band has offered:
These are Codeine's first public performances since 1994. We are performing to celebrate the release of WHEN I SEE THE SUN - the reissues of all our music by the esteemed NUMERO GROUP, of Chicago, Illinois, coming in the spring of 2012. The 3 albums will be released as vinyl double albums, which will include compilation tracks, 4 track demos, peel sessions, and entirely heretofore unreleased songs. The six albums will also be released as a limited edition boxed set, possibly with a bonus 7-inch. Our hope is to make our music and legacy available to all who are interested. To spotlight this release, we will be performing a very limited series of concerts in the US, UK and Europe.
The full tracklisting for the package is below.
