El-P’s reissue campaign with Fat Possum continues with the release of three double vinyl sets: 2002’s Fantastic Damage, 2007’s I’ll Sleep When You’re Dead, and 2012’s Cancer for Cure all got new pressings for significant anniversaries. They’re all available to order now.
“this is a thank you letter to everyone who has helped and allowed me to live my life doing the music and art i love,” El-P said in a statement. “to everyone who has been moved in some way by what i do, to everyone who has been listening from the beginning, to those that stuck with me as i changed and grew and to everybody who’s just discovered the music.” He continued:
i’ve always focused on the next piece. i’ve always only run to my future. but despite my habit of not looking back much, this year marks the 20th (FANTASTIC DAMAGE), 15th (I’LL SLEEP WHEN YOU’RE DEAD) and 10th (CANCER 4 CURE) anniversaries of the major records in my solo career and it feels good to get them back on vinyl and into whomever’s hands might want them. but most of all it feels good to just be here. still allowed to do what i love, still thrilled about it in every way.
