Jawbox Announce Reissue of "For Your Own Special Sweetheart"



Iconic post-punk band Jawbox are set to reissue their 1994 classic For Your Own Special Sweetheart November 24th on CD and vinyl. Although the album was released on Atlantic Records and marked the band's first release after leaving Dischord Records, the reissue is being handled by Dischord and the band's own DeSoto Records. Thanks to Dischord and engineer Bob Weston (Pixies, Jawbox, and a member of Shellac), For Your Own Special Sweetheart album has been meticulously remastered. Bassist Kim Coletta says, "It just sounds a whole lot better."

The re-release will also contain the three songs that appeared on the Savory +3 EP that Atlantic put out in 1994. Purchase of the vinyl version comes with a coupon redeemable for a free download of the remastered album and three bonus songs.
