In November 2015, The Vulgar Boatmen’s much loved debut album, You and Your Sister, was reissued on CD via Timechange. The original release had been difficult to find for many years and was badly in need of remastering. The new, 25th Anniversary edition features 3 bonus tracks and far superior sound to the original release, and is housed in deluxe six-panel wallet packaging. It also features new liner notes from NPR’s Ann Powers.
The reissue has garnered quite a lot of news and reviews:
