Grant Lee Buffalo's 'Mighty Joe Moon' Gets Vinyl Reissue

BY Alex HudsonPublished Dec 23, 2014

Grant Lee Buffalo have played some reunion shows in recent years, but the rootsy '90s band still haven't released a new album since 1998's Jubilee. While that doesn't look to be changing anytime soon, their 1994 album Mighty Joe Moon is set to get a vinyl reissue on February 17 through Plain Recordings.

This will come out on 180-gram vinyl. According to a listing on Discogs, the only prior vinyl pressing was a UK edition way back in '94.

Mighty Joe Moon was a commercial breakthrough for the band and included the hit "Mockingbirds." An announcement from the label calls this "a highlight of the era and the best record the band ever made." There's no bonus material, and the original 13-song tracklist has been preserved.

It's available to pre-order here.

Since the turn of the millennium, frontman Grant-Lee Phillips has gone on to release a string of solo albums.
