    What C_Wheeler said, this record is still available on Polyvinyl, don't pay these crazy resell prices!

      From what I understood, this is the most recent post regarding the re-issue as of August 2023. I hope Matt will update us soon in either this post or a new one.

        Per Matt Talbott, represses (standard black and color TBD) will be up for preorder mid-summer 2023 and will ship before the end of the year.

          As per Tim on the Hum Facebook page, band-sanctioned re-release coming this year.

            One of the greatest Indy albums out there. With grungy lows, and soaring highs combined with impeccable timing HUM nails it with this album.
