Slint and Touch and Go records are gearing up to celebrate the 35th… yes, 35th anniversary of Tweez. Damn, you’re old right? There will be two LPs, one with the original recording and mix, and a special second LP highlighting a much-rumored alternate mix. Both versions have been mastered by Bob Weston at the legendary Chicago Mastering Studio. Pre-orders are up now and the release will be limited to a limited run of 3138.

LP1: Originally recorded by Steve Albini and released in 1989, tweez has been remastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Studio from the original analog master tapes.
LP2: tweethan mix. Per Ethan Buckler (Slint bassist on tweez), “Finally – after thirty-five long years – the other guys in Slint decided to be nice to me and let me have my Tweez remix. I complained incessantly back in the day about how the Albini production style ruined our first recording.” In 2023, Ethan took the original multi-track recordings to a local studio in Louisville. Upon handing the engineer a copy of a pre-tweez Slint practice tape, he said “Make it sound like this.” LP2 of this tweez (35th anniversary edition) is the result. Mastered by Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Studio.
