    Head Automatica’s first two albums are getting a vinyl pressing. The press release can be found below and pre-orders are now up.

    Headphone Records, the LA-based indie label specializing in limited edition vinyl reissues, has announced plans to release two classic titles by influential Long Island band Head Automatica on limited edition, remastered vinyl.
    2004’s Decadence is the band’s debut studio album which was produced by Dan ‘The Automator’ Nakamura and Howard Benson.

    Propaganda is Head Automatica’s 2006 follow-up to Decadance, which was also produced by Howard Benson.

    Vinyl Details:

    Head Automatica-Decadence (15th Anniversary Edition w/ Deluxe Packaging) on translucent purple with black smoke and 180 gram black

    Head Automatica-Popaganda 2XLP on pink with silver swirl and 180 gram black

    Both albums remastered for vinyl at Cohearent Audio by Kevin Gray (Jeff Buckley, Miles Davis, Elton John)

    Decadence ships 6/28/19
    Popaganda ships 8/2/19

    Preorder – headphonerecords.net/shop

    Headphone Records founder Shawn Carrano says, “After two years of waiting, we were able to secure the Head Automatica catalog from Warner Bros to reissue on vinyl. It’s our initial release after relaunching the label this year. We have more amazing releases in the works. Please follow Instagram.com/headphonerecords for updates.”

    Prices are ridiculous. These have been up for a week or two and haven’t even moved 50 copies of each (colored). Doubt they’ll go anywhere with that price tag.

    I remember when Say Anything wanted $75 for the IARB re-press and i laughed out loud then found a 2LP variant of the repress at FYE for $19.00 2 months later.

    I never understood why WB shelved it indefinitely. Maybe initially when they thought Daryl would play ball and rewrite the record but now? All these years later? Just release it you idiots.

    mannnnnnn vinyl prices are outta control these days.

    Thrifting for old gems for a buck is far more fun than spending 2 hours of work on one album you’ll spin maybe 10 times then forget about.

    Motel. Money. Murder. Madness.

    They did the most they could with the mix and mastering, which along with the licensing is gonna be a fortune. But this is still pretty crazy.

    Could never really get into Popaganda, but the translucent purple of Decadence for $30 is mighty tempting. Huge fan of that record.

    I have to imagine they’ll drop the price on the colored ones. Popaganda hasn’t even sold 100 copies and Decadence hasn’t even sold 150. I assume it’s better to sell them at a lower price than to not sell them at all.
