The album makes its vinyl debut this fall
Everclear has officially announced their platinum-selling album Songs From An American Movie Vol. One: Learning How To Smile will be released on vinyl for the first time on Friday, September 13th via Intervention Records. Artist-approved by frontman Art Alexakis, the “Everclear” transparent yellow 140-gram vinyl is a limited edition, numbered two thousand copies, pressed by Gotta Groove Records and 100% analog, mastered by Kevin Gray from the original master tapes. Created 25 years ago, Everclear will spotlight tracks off Songs From An American Movie Vol. One, including the smash hits “AM Radio” and “Wonderful,” on a massive fall headlining tour featuring special guests Marcy Playground and Jimmie’s Chicken Shack that will launch on vinyl release day, September 13th.
“I am so stoked that after 25 years this album is finally going to be available on vinyl…for the first time ever!” shares Alexakis. “When this record was originally released on Capitol, it was supposed to be released on vinyl, but vinyl sales were down so much that the label absolutely refused to honor our contract. I can’t wait for the fans to get a hold of this record. It’s exactly how I envisioned it to be almost 25 years ago, down to the yellow vinyl and the original artwork! I hope fans of this record and vinyl enthusiasts enjoy it as much as I do.”
Everclear’s fall headlining tour will kick off on September 13th in San Francisco and stop in more than 30 cities across the US including Portland, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Denver, Virginia Beach, Knoxville, Richmond, Long Island, Boston, Asbury Park, Baltimore, Cleveland, Green Bay, Minneapolis, and Birmingham before wrapping November 2nd in Porterville, California.
In 2023, Everclear released Live at The Whisky a Go Go showcasing the band’s acclaimed and energetic live performance. The 17-track collection, available digitally, on CD, and 2 LP Coke bottle green vinyl via Sunset Blvd Records, features the live recording of the Los Angeles show on Everclear’s 30th Anniversary Tour as well as two bonus studio tracks: “Sing Away,” a powerful single addressing teen suicide, and their 2022 politically-charged single “Year Of The Tiger.”
