The Reverberation Appreciation Society are beyond stoked to announce the 4th installment in our Live at Levitation series with the one and only King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard! This landmark double LP features the band's 2014 and 2016 shows pressed up on beautiful wax - which is all in hand and shipping now!
This 4th release follows Live at Levitation releases from Kikagaku Moyo, The Black Angels and Primal Scream.
The 2014 show, presented in full on the first LP, is particularly historic. This show happened to be the bands first ever performance in North America! "We've never played in America before" chimes Stu right before launching into their yet to be released 'I'm In Your Mind Fuzz' suite on side A... right after this tour the band would spend the summer in Brooklyn, NY recording I'm In Your Mind Fuzz and Quarters. These 2014 live versions feature early versions and a unique look into the creative process of a band that was about to explode onto the world scene. LP2 features the bands triumphant return to LEVITATION in 2016 and they are firing on all cylinders and celebrating the release of their Nonagon Infinity LP. While the festival was canceled due to severe weather, this recording is one of two shows Gizz played at Barracuda (RIP) in downtown Austin that weekend and we were set up to capture it in all its glory. Audio for both shows was recorded by Craig Lawrence, and then mixed by Gizz mastermind Stu Mackenzie at the band’s studio in Melbourne Australia and mastered specially for vinyl. It doesn't get any better.
This release showcases 4 unique colorways, each limited to 2000, in a matte gatefold featuring unique gold foil embossed numbered jackets #0001 - 8000. This first run will be the only ones with such features and a truly special record for any collection. We are also proud to say this record is already on hand and ships out immediately! Another thank you to all the fans who dealt with pre-orders this year, we wanted to make sure this one was here and ready to roll out right when we announced. We are stoked to bundle this great record with a super limited edition release of tees, tie dyes and screen printed foil prints featuring artwork by Alan Forbes from the 2016 show + the long lost 2014 poster by C.M Ruiz.
