Description: Third Man Records Vault #52 COMPLETE SET UNOPENED! Deluxe and expanded reissue of Sleep’s Dopesmoker, featuring remastered audio from the original source tapes of this seminal album. The package includes: - Four “green kush" colored LPs with custom etchings - Alternate takes of "Dopesmoker" - An unearthed studio version of the long-lost track "Hot Lava Man" - A 7" featuring "Dopesmoker" (Radio Edit) and "Proceeds The Weedian" (marking the band's first 7" release since 1991) - Two foldover posters - A woven patch All inside a CUSTOM LP SLIPCASE!! With audio precisely remastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering using the original master tapes not used on any previous release of the album, the 60-plus minutes of the definitive, canonical version of Dopesmoker appreciated by fans for years has never sounded so crisp, so clear, so heavy. Side D of this monster features the previously unknown recording of the long-lost Sleep song “Hot Lava Man.” This version was recorded at Razor’s Edge Studio in San Francisco in 1992. Side E features two previously unreleased outtakes from the Dopesmoker sessions. The alternate take of “Dopesmoker (Part 1)” and the alternate solo version. Side F is a sharp as hell etching of the iconic Arik Roper Weedian image as famously featured on the cover of all versions of Dopesmoker since 2012 including this one…proceeding to Nazareth. Disc four showcases an early, embryonic live recording of “Dopesmoker” from the I-Beam club in San Francisco on May 28th, 1994. Each LP is pressed on green kush vinyl, a specialized custom blend of five different colors all mixed together to create the impressive approximation of the choicest indica strains. Additionally, the LPs are all pressed on 180-gram vinyl. Also includes a 7-inch single showcasing the “Dopesmoker (radio edit)” and “Proceeds the Weedian” (another abridged version culled from the full-length “Dopesmoker” song). Housed in a perfectly green Third Man company sleeve and bedecked with the quintessential Weedian, this is the first Sleep 7-inch release since 1991. Also pressed on choice green kush vinyl. This behemoth of a collection lives in a wraparound slipcase with each individual LP disc housed in a full-color printed sleeve featuring of-the-era pictures. The package also includes TWO full-color posters measuring 16.5 x 24 inches and 12 x 24 inches depicting a full-color photo of the band around the time of recording the album and the legendary “riff chart” breaking down all the different rational components of the hour-plus long song, respectively. Last, a 4.5-inch diameter woven patch showing off the inimitable Weedian SLEEP DOPESMOKER EXPANDED VAULT RELEASE TRACK LIST: 1. Dopesmoker (Part 1) 2. Dopesmoker (Part 2) 3. Dopesmoker (Part 3) 4.
