Blackball Records reissuing Jawbreaker's Unfun

Posted by Nick Spacek on Mon, Jan 25, 2010 at 2:00 PM

Jawbreaker's Adam Pfahler made a post to the band's MySpace page this weekend wherein he revealed that his Blackball Records will be reissuing the band's 1990 debut full-length, Unfun.

We're not really calling it this, but the twentieth anniversary edition of Jawbreaker's 1990 debut album Unfun will be released on Blackball Records on March 30, 2010.

Unfun has been remastered by John Golden from the original analog tapes. The increased sampling rate boosts some of the bottom end and midrange. It sounds fucking awesome.

The CD and download versions of the record include the three song Whack & Blite E.P., as well as the 7" mix of "Busy" as an unlisted bonus track. The vinyl version is available for the first time since 1992 and has the same 12 song track list.

The original artwork has been restored and all formats include additional band photos from the time of recording. The CD comes with a 24 page booklet with the Whack & Blite E.P. insert reproduced in its entirety.

Hopefully, they'll press plenty of copies, because it's been a total pain in the ass to get previous reissues from Blackball.

Even though Jawbreaker is my favorite band, I already own the original and don't see any point in getting this. I actually like the album's grittiness as it is.

Really? I easily managed to get a copy ordered into a small record store in Manhattan, KS. This was a few years ago, but still.
