First up is this beaut, the “Solar Flare” Edition of Mothership II. Because of the band’s kickstarter, very few copies of the original “Cosmic” Limited Edition were made available for general sale, so few fans got them. So this is the first Limited Edition of II to get a regular release. An amazing album containing many Motheship show staples, like “Hot Smoke and Heavy Blues”, the “Solar Flare” is purple and yellow to play off the amazing art by EZ. Full gatefold LP with amazing inner art. Limited to 100 with no repress.
Next up is this gorgeous slab, the “Starry Cosmos” Limited Edition of Mothership “Live Over Freak Valley.” Some have called this album THE defining live album of the new wave of underground heavy music and we won’t disagree. A stellar performance from the band, here captured on black and white/silver splattered vinyl, designed to look like the milky way of stars against a sea of space black. What better way could there be to ride the Motheship? Limited to 100 with no repress.
