As previously announced, Fire Records are re-issuing Pigbag’s albums this year.

More details are now available on the Fire Records site and there’s some great info.

The first release is “Pigbag Volume 1 – Dr Heckle and Mr Jive“.
This consist of 2xCD:

  • “Dr Heckle and Mr Jive” album
  • 7″ and 12″ versions of “Papa’s Got A Brand New Pigbag” plus B-sides
  • 7″ and 12″ versions of “Sunny Day” plus B-sides
  • 12″ of “Getting Up” plus B-sides (7″ version is on Dr Heckle and Mr Jive anyway)
  • 12″ of “Big Bean” plus B-side

The second release is “Pigbag Volume 2 – Lend An Ear + Pigbag Live”

This consists of 2xCD:

  • “Lend An Ear” album
  • “Pigbag” album (Live tracks and remixes)
  • “Hit The ‘O’ Deck” instrumental

So that’s pretty much everything that Pigbag released, except the BBC Radio Sessions which were previously released on CD. Full track listings for both releases can be found on the “Re-Issues” page.

The site says they will be available 12th July 2010, priced at £15 each, and they’re available for pre-order.

Both releases will be available for download at £5 each, or £0.79 per track.

Additionally, “Papa’s Got A Brand New Pigbag” (7″ and 12″ versions) are available for download at Amazon and Apple iTunes Store for £0.79 each.
