Primus

Third Man Records is excited to announce Vault Package #53, Primus: The Revenant Juke – A Collection of Fables and Farce, featuring six colored 7" records – the band's first 7" releases in their 30-plus years as a group – with individual sleeve artwork, all housed in a custom telescoping box.

This is the first studio album of original material since 1995's Tales From The Punchbowl with the classic Primus line-up of Les Claypool (vocals, bass), Larry LaLonde (guitar) and Tim Alexander (drums). The Desaturating Seven is inspired by a 1970's children's book Claypool often read to his kids when they were growing up. The book tells a story of seven goblins one representing each color of the rainbow who simultaneously pull all of the color out of the world.

Released in May 1991, Sailing The Seas Of Cheese was Primus’ second studio album and major label debut, featuring the singles “Jerry Was A Racecar Driver,” “Tommy The Cat” and “Those Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers.” It reached #2 on Billboard’s Heatseekers charts. Comprised of bassist/vocalist Claypool, guitarist LaLonde and drummer Tim “Herb” Alexander, Primus toured extensively in 1991 and 1992, including dates with Public Enemy, Anthrax, Fishbone, Rush and U2. Sailing The Seas of Cheese was certified Gold within two years, eventually climbing to Platinum certification.

Tales from the Punchbowl is the fourth studio album by the American rock band Primus, released on June 6, 1995. It was the band's last album with Tim Alexander before he rejoined Primus seven years later, and again in September 2013. It was certified Gold on July 20, 1995.

Brown Album is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Primus.

The prosperous Hanseatic city of Hamburg with its thriving cultural life always attracted capable minds. One of these was Thomas Selle (1599-1663), who worked here as city cantor from 1641. Around 1650, he compiled what he considered to be the most relevant of his own sacred compositions for printing, in order to preserve his work for posterity. As was customary at the time, there were different instrumentation variants of the works, so that he presented several alternatives in Concertuum Latino Sacrorum. The result is a fascinating compendium by one of the most important composers of his time.
