Snarky? Me???
We are excited to announce the super deluxe rerelease of Joe Stone's first album, Doesn't Really Exist. Newly remixed and remastered, we've slammed the levels on to the maximum allowed by (digital) law. Not only does this mean you'll be able to hear the songs over anything but the loudest jackhammer right next to you, but you won't be able to recognize the songs from previous editions. Go ahead, compare the songs to the "Ultimate Edition" we issued just last year (that's the one with the live bonus tracks that we didn't include on this edition). Even the quieter ballads are now so loud your eyes will cross.
Speaking of bonus tracks, we've uncovered several unfinished demos from the recording sessions that didn't make it to the original release. These weren't good enough to make the original cut, but we figured, what the hell? There's money to be made! So we've thrown them on here. We even decided to finish a couple of them, even though all the band members have changed since then and now we sound completely different.
There's also a super deluxe vinyl version that comes with a full size poster of the band, a photo book, and a piece of cardboard with those silly mustaches, glasses, and badges you can cut out and wear. [Note: Vinyl version only contains half of the original album due to the limitations of the length of material that can be pressed on a vinyl album. We considered making it a double or even triple super deluxe album, but we were just too lazy.]
So what are you waiting for? Preorder it now and we'll ship it whenever we get around to it. If you wait, you may be tempted to buy the next rerelease of this album instead, so order now!
[Hoping that I won't have to put a disclaimer here later…]
