VIA PRESS RELEASE | Each month, Run Out Groove allows fans to vote on the label’s next high-quality vinyl pressing chosen from selections of unreleased material, reissues of out-of-print titles, or brand new collections compiled from the Warner Music vault. Morphine fans united and voted Live at the Warfield 1997 to be the next official limited and numbered Run Out Groove title. This unreleased live performance from the vaults includes never before seen photographs and examples of Mark Sandman’s artwork used throughout the package.
“It is a great privilege and pleasure to be able to be a part of this amazing vinyl release,” said Dana Colley, co-producer of the release and Morphine saxophonist. Run Out Groove is a company that cares very deeply about music and the making of music. Meticulously curated and cut lovingly by Jeff Powell at Sam Phillips Recording, this 2LP set is a great and unique addition to the Morphine catalogue and I am very proud to have had a part in it being made available to you dear listener.”
As of Thursday July 6th, Run Out Groove will be hosting a contest via their Facebook page @RunOutGrooveLPs allowing fans to submit their favorite Morphine Like Swimming album era memories with a chance to have their story included in a printed insert in the final limited and numbered LP package. Live at the Warfield 1997 is available to order exclusively via the Run Out Groove website until August 3rd and will be limited and numbered based on total orders taken at the end of the pre-order period. After the pre-order closes, the only way to purchase a copy will be via participating music retailers across the U.S., while supplies last.
