A Bureaucratic Desire for Extra-Capsular Extraction

We have been blessed with a massive offering from the gods! For the first time ever the debut recordings of Earth are available in one concise, beautifully documented capsule. A Bureaucratic Desire for Extra-Capsular Extraction contains the entire 1990 Smegma Studios sessions which are the debut recordings from Earth, previously available scattered via the Extra Capsular Extractions EP and Sunn Amps and Smashed Guitar CD. This essential collection contains every note from the infamous first Earth recording sessions. All seven tracks have been carefully re-mastered by Mell Dettmer. It is actually questionable what mastering if any was done on the original tracks so we entrusted the task into the very capable hands of Mell who has mastered all the other Earth releases via Southern Lord. The result is a more burly, mammoth and crushing audio experience that makes this collection a must have even for the die-hards that own previous versions of these recordings. Includes liner notes from Dylan Carlson, with exclusive artwork by Simon Fowler and package design by Stephen O'Malley.
