UPC: 657628454809 First time vinyl release of 2004 classic John Reis-led band (Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Hot Snakes, etc). Remastered from original tapes, includes four bonus tracks. The Sultans formed in 2000 and were John Reis / Slasher and Tony DiPrima and at times also Andy Stamets / Black Flame (Rocket From The Crypt's ND) and Dean Reis / Black Velvet (Mannequin Piss, Spider Fever, The Heartaches, Los Dug Dugs). Shipwrecked was the bands second album and was released only on CD in 2004. This reissue is a labour of lust with maximum attention to detail in resurrecting these masters from their deteriorated, analog state. The result is a louder, thicker and even more bristling slab of triumphant rock 'n' roll. Everything on this reissue cuts deeper and breaks the digital glass into razor sharp shards and then shits on the 1s and 0s. Added to the original are four bonus tracks, one being a cover of The Dils "Blow Up" and another the never released "Out Of Focus". Shipwrecked was the last record at Drag Racist (Hot Snakes, RFTC, etc) before it shuddered its doors for good.
