Overview

Control Is In Your Command: The Best Of The Weisstronauts 1998-2012 --- 2012

Gatefold LP comes with bonus CD including entire program, plus 15 additional tracks. From band's website: "Included for the purchase price is a 12-song LP, pressed on heavy vinyl. The recordings were completely remastered from the original mixes, specifically for the vinyl medium and cut by Jeff Powell on the original Stax lathe (finally, we have a single degree of separation from Isaac Hayes, Booker T & the MG's, Big Star et al...) at Ardent Studios in Memphis. The gorgeous, heavy-stock gatefold jacket was designed by the amazing graphic whiz Jeff Mellin, based around an amateur painting of a spaceship, found by 'Nauts guitarist George Hall. The jacket opens up to reveal a collection of 'Nauts photos, credits, and anecdotes. To sweeten the deal, the first 100 copies include a unique piece of original artwork, created and signed by a band member. These range from line drawings, caricatures, and crayon sketches, to well, more elaborate fare. You don't get to choose your artwork, but you can rest assured it will be absolutely singular. Finally, the package comes with a companion CD that contains all 12 songs from the LP, as well as 15 (yes, 'fifteen') additional songs from the Weisstronauts' canon. All of these were also completely remastered from the ground up, and sound better than ever."
