UME WHIPS UP JIMMY BUFFETT VINYL REISSUES
4/16/24

On the heels of a star-studded Hollywood Bowl tribute concert for late island troubadour Jimmy Buffett, UMe will reissue 10 of the artist's albums on vinyl over the next few months. The collection can be pre-ordered here while fins are raised and cheeseburgers are munched on in paradise.

First up on 6/7 are 1973's Living and Dying in 3/4 Time, 1983's One Particular Harbour and 1994's Fruitcakes. Living and Dying sports Buffett's first top 40 single ("Come Monday"), while One Particular Harbour features its popular title track and "Stars on the Water."

On 7/12, UMe will bring forth remastered editions of 1973's A White Sport Coat and a Pink Crustacean, 1976's Havana Daydreamin' and 1996's Banana Wind. The latter includes the infamous "Jamaica Mistaica," which was inspired by an incident where Jamaican authorities accidentally opening fire on Buffett's sea plane while he was transporting Bono and Island Records founder Chris Blackwell.

The final batch is due 8/16 and will offer 1977's "Maragaritaville"-featuring Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Altitudes, 1978's Son of a Son of a Sailor, 1979's Volcano and 1995's Barometer Soup.

Each of the 10 remastered reissues will be available on a special colored vinyl variant.
