Kristin Hersh - Hips And Makers (RSD 2024, 2LP Bottle Green Vinyl)

Kristin Hersh’s celebrated debut album Hips & Makers is getting a first-ever reissue on Record Store Day 2024 to coincide with its 30th anniversary. Spread across two records, the album has been reconfigured for optimum playback, seeing the album, three tracks from the Your Ghost EP and a bonus track (“Hysterical Bending”) appearing on the first three sides and then the full Strings EP (including previously orphaned track “The Key”) on the fourth side. Reflecting its original design, this new edition comes in a gatefold sleeve and is being pressed on bottle green vinyl.
