And here it is! After at least 18 months since I supplied a quote to Noah Uman for his reissue of ‘The Medium Is The Massage’ celebrating 100 years of McLuhan‘s record of the book, it finally dropped through the letterbox this morning. It’s gorgeous, full deluxe mini LP style CD sleeve, 40 pg booklet and all in the style of the original (check my copies of the LP and books below).
I’m sharing page space with some pretty esteemed commentators too: Warhol, Woody Allen, Steinski, Don Joyce, Jello Biafra, DJ Spooky… The CD is out on Five Day Weekend (who also have releases from Edan, Mr Chop and the ’80 Blocks From Tiffanys’ DVD) on December the 12th. Well worth it, a unique record, history, literature, social commentary, cut and paste and comedy all rolled into one.
And….. the vinyl is here:

Thanks Kev!
Should be identical, this is just the European edition I think, Traffic over there, 5 Day Weekend over here
Looks amazing, can’t wait! Do you know if the U.S. version is going to be different? I see that it’s being released on a label called Traffic here, and they have a sticker saying ‘original essays by DJ Spooky and Michael Vazquez’… if I have to, I’ll get the UK version.
