"A record label with the midas touch" - NPR

In an effort to rediscover and recognize some of XL Recordings' crucial past releases, the celebrated label will be reissuing a limited edition run of vinyl pressings of some of their most essential works.   The critical and commercial success of Adele's 21, Vampire Weekend's Contra, Gil Scott-Heron's I'm New Here and The xx's self-titled debut has stoked the fire with new and old fans alike to return to the albums that first brought mass critical acclaim to the revered indie label.

The continued extension and acknowledgement of electronic music across the world and into the mainstream has brought many listeners back to the original works that inspired today's current trends.  Debuting at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 in 1997 and included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's" list, The Prodigy's Grammy-nominated "The Fat of the Land" remains one of XL's seminal releases from their first significant worldwide artist.  "The Fat Of The Land" went on to sell over a million copies worldwide in its first week, reaching the 10 million sales mark within just eighteen months of release.  The 15th Anniversary edition of "The Fat of the Land" will be available in stores as the original double LP, deluxe double CD and deluxe digital edition starting December 4th.  All versions of the deluxe edition release will feature additional remixes from Noisia, Alvin Risk, Zeds Dead, Major Lazer, Bauuer, and The Glitch Mob; the first four of which are packaged as a separate 12" EP to compliment the double LP release.  "Breathe" (Zeds Dead Remix) and "Smack My Bitch Up" (Noisia Remix) will also be available as digital singles on November 6th.

In addition to this upcoming reissue, vinyl re-pressings of quintessential dance duo Basement Jaxx's Remedy , The Prodigy's breakthrough sophomore album Music For the Jilted Generation, and indie pop darling Badly Drawn Boy's The Hour Of Bewilderbeast and his original soundtrack for the feature film About a Boy are all available now at shopusa.xlrecordings.com
