Elixir Albums Re-Issued On Vinyl
Elixir are proud to announce the re-issue of all of their back catalogue on vinyl, through the Back On Black label. Back On Black recently released Elixir's new album 'Voyage Of The Eagle' in a stunning gatefold sleeve, and now all previous albums are to get the same treatment. All five studio albums will come in a gatefold sleeve with lyrics, and 'The Son Of Odin' will come on a collactable red vinyl. 'Elixir Live' will be a double album in a gatefold sleeve featuring live shots of the band on the sleeve instead of lyrics. Elixir guitarist Phil Denton commented "Whilst all the albums look great, I am particularly pleased with 'Sovereign Remedy'. I have always had a bad relationship with our second album due to the sub-standard Sonic release under the title 'Lethal Potion, which had songs missing, the wrong running order, and instrumentation and vocals taken out of the mix. I am delighted to finally see this album out on vinyl, in a stunning sleeve, with all the songs and mixes as they originally were done. The running order, as a double album, now makes perfect sense, and thanks to Back On Black, I can finally feel proud of this album. I am also pleased to finally put this right for Clive Burr's memory, as he did a great job coming in on drums for this album". All albums are available to order from the Plastic Head Megastore here
