Relient K Announce Special Edition 'Mmhmm' Limited Run Vinyls; Only 1,500 Available (PREORDER LINK)
Christian band Relient K is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their ground breaking album Mmhmm with new special edition vinyl pressing on record.
"We are so stoked to announce the official re-pressing of #mmhmm on vinyl. Preorder it here as it will be a limited run!" wrote the band on their Facebook page.
The album on record can be pre-ordered on the Gotee Records site for $25.
"This is a PRE-SALE for a 2 LP clear vinyl copy of MMHMM by Relient K. This vinyl will ship with a copy of the 10 Year Deluxe Edition of MMHMM with bonus content in a sleeve. The projected ship date is early Nov 2014 and the print run will be 1000-1500 albums," reads the post.
The band also just announced that tickets for the East coast leg of the tour are now on sale. The 'Mmhmm 10th Anniversary Tour' will begin on October 30 and run through December 12.
Mmhmm debuted at No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart and later went Gold. It included singles "Be My Escape" and "Who I Am Hates Who I've Been." On Christian radio the album featured three more singles, "High of 75," "I So Hate Consequences," and "Life After Death and Taxes (Failure II)."

The band got their big break in 2000 when they were signed to TobyMac's Gotee Records and put out their self-titled debut. Their two followups garnered even more success, The Anatomy of the Tongue in Cheek and Two Lefts Don't Make a Right But Three Do. It was then Mmhmm that propelled them into who they are now by maturing the song writing and making the songs hit harder both musically and lyrically.
Last year they released Collapsible Lung on digital format only. It debuted in the Billboard Top 20, and No. 1 on iTunes.
