Majordomo Records, a division of Shout! Factory, has teamed up with scuzz-blues pioneers The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion for a unique reissue campaign beginning in March 2010. The Blues Explosion's catalog will join Shout! Factory's elite, eclectic roster, which houses Rhett Miller, Von Bondies, Richard Thompson, Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs, among others.
“We're very honored to work with The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion," says Garson Foos, President of Shout! Factory. “They are a groundbreaking band whose music left an indelible mark and undoubtedly will continue making great music for years to come. We are thrilled to be releasing their catalog."
Of the signing, Spencer says, “I'm very excited to be releasing the Blues Explosion albums with Shout! Factory. I'm impressed with the quality of material that Shout! releases as well as their attention to detail." Adds Spencer, “For me, it's been a wild ride working on the reissues. There is a lot of power in the grooves of these records. The Blues are still No. 1."
Kicking off the campaign will be Dirty Shirt Rock N' Roll: The First Ten Years, a compilation featuring the band's best recordings, which will street on March 30. Reissues of the newly remastered original albums will follow, with rare and unreleased bonus tracks, new liner notes and photos. All titles will also be available digitally, many for the first time.
