SO FRESH & SO CLEAN, CLEAN
As Outkast's Aquemini turns 25 and Speakerboxxx/The Love Below hits 20, SME's Certified has teamed up with Get on Down to release anniversary editions of both classics. Limited-edition collector’s vinyl will be available in various configurations and is available for pre-order here.
The Aquemini 25th anniversary edition is pressed on three colored LPs (Gold Galaxy, Cloudy Magenta and Cloudy Green) and housed in a gold-foil-stamped jacket with a printed lyrics insert, printed inner sleeves and commemorative OBI (a paper-band or folded-paper-flap addition to a vinyl sleeve). The full album will also be released digitally in both Dolby Atmos and 360RA (reality audio). The vinyl will ship in late October.
Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, meanwhile, is pressed on double Platinum Chain and double Pearl vinyl packaged in a gatefold jacket. It will ship at the end of November. To sweeten the pot, one lucky fan has a chance to win a certified custom plaque commemorating the album's hitting 13-times platinum. Enter to win here.
Outkast has also just unveiled a new animated video for “SpottieOttieDopaliscious," directed by OK Motion Club. And the Aquemini single "Rosa Parks" recently got the HD treatment, as did the Speakerboxxx/The Love Below cut "The Way You Move." Now that we're also 25 years older, the way we move regularly involves creaking.
