Mogwai’s iconic second album ‘Come On Die Young’ is to be reissued on a fresh coloured vinyl. Presented in a gatefold sleeve with original artwork, the grey vinyl (The 2023 reissue came on white vinyl) will come with a digital download code.
Originally released in March 1999, ‘Come On Die Young’s artwork references The Exorcist and a title scalped from a well-known Glasgow gang slogan. Instead of the cover’s suggested apocalypse-harbouring, pre-millennial assault on the senses however, this second offering from the band was a darkly elegiac – and surprisingly restrained – response to the aural fireworks of their ‘Young Team’ debut from two years earlier.
