Both records have been remastered by Heba Kadry and will be available on vinyl, CD and digital streaming platforms.

“Reviewing past work is a double-edged sword for me. Of course, that’s bound to happen when you’ve been making music for nearly 60 years,” Cale said in a press release about the reissue. He continued.

What is unique about this process with Domino is their desire to get it right. Not just re-releasing something for an anniversary or collecting a catalog favourite, but finding new treasures and highlighting what made it special in the first place. After listening to the test pressings, it occurred to me that the new mastering was a major part of how these works would be presented, not just preserved. There are moments of clarity and even a laugh or two, revisiting not only the music, but reminiscing about the sessions (and antics) that made up these two records. A pleasure to share with you… again.
