My Morning Jacket - Chapter 1: The Sandworm Cometh: Early Recordings [2LP White]
Step back into the hazy beginnings of My Morning Jacket with Chapter 1: The Sandworm Cometh – a mesmerizing collection of the band’s raw, early recordings. This special 2LP set captures the unfiltered magic that launched a Louisville cult favorite into indie-rock royalty.
Pressed on ghost-colored vinyl (think milky, natural tones with a hint of mystery) and spinning at 45 RPM for peak audiophile pleasure, this release is all about the details. From the swirling melancholy of “They Ran” to the stripped-down grit of “Evelyn Is Not Real,” every track delivers an intimate glimpse into Jim James' soaring vocals and the band’s signature reverb-drenched soundscapes.
Originally self-released and tough to track down, these early sessions are both charmingly lo-fi and emotionally potent. The band was still shaping its identity, but the seeds of their future anthems are all here – dreamy, dusty, and surprisingly deep. You'll also find fan-favorites like “Heartbreakin’ Man” and the haunting “War Begun,” all sounding better than ever thanks to this carefully remastered pressing.
Housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve and paired with a digital download, this limited-edition release (only 1,500 pressed!) is a must-have for collectors and die-hard fans alike. Get ready to fall in love with MMJ all over again – from the very beginning.
