Disco Biscuits To Release Classical Set On Vinyl

Back in December The Disco Biscuits announced they would soon release a multi-track recording of the “classical set” they laid down on the afternoon of August 16, 2003 at the TranceMission Festival in Tennessee. Today, the band has revealed the special set of classical covers and classical-oriented tDB originals will be issued on vinyl this Record Store Day Black Friday, November 28. You can pre-order the vinyl now via LiveDownloads.com.

The Disco Biscuits Aron Magner shared a statement about the long-in-the-making release:

On behalf of the entire The Disco Biscuits organization, I couldn’t be happier to announce the official release of THE CLASSICAL SET….on vinyl. Now available for pre-order here: http://2nu.gs/tDBclassical

This special afternoon show was performed on Aug 16, 2003 at a festival we put together in the mountains of Trade, TN called “TranceMission.” The tracks consist of arrangements of some of the most famous classical pieces of music, mixed with some Biscuits classical-inspired originals. I vividly recall the band tearing through the sheet music of the conductor’s score and crafting our own unique four piece orchestration that still stayed true to the written music.

This limited edition, four side, official release has been set for November 28, but we are accepting pre-order reservations that will ship out by mid-November. The release contains original artwork by Gwen AP Original Art, liner notes by Jon Lesser, a special bonus track on side 4, a download card redeemable for a free digital version of the album, and, for those who purchase via the pre-order before the end of October, a special bonus item from our merch store.

Roll over Beethoven…we’re rocking in 2 by 2.
