Ipecac Recordings

Ipecac Recordings, founded by Greg Werckman and Mike Patton in 1999, has been making waves in the music industry for over two decades. With a reputation for pushing boundaries and challenging conventions, this label has earned its slogan of "Making people sick since 1999".

During its early years, Ipecac Recordings faced challenges in reaching European audiences. Fans had to import their favorite releases from the label's website or American online stores. However, thanks to partnerships with Caroline Distribution and Southern Records between 2000 and 2006, European editions became more accessible.

In 2006, Ipecac signed an exclusive distribution deal with Fontana for both Europe and the USA. This milestone allowed the label to expand its reach even further and solidify its presence in the global music scene.

The Melvins are a prolific rock/metal band formed in 1983 in Montesano, WA. They have had a rotating cast of more than 10 bass players and have released over 20 studio albums throughout their 40-year career. Their current bassist is Trevor Dunn. The band performs under the name "Melvins Lite" with Trevor Dunn on stand-up bass and under the name "Melvins 1983" with Dale on bass instead of drums.

The core members of the Melvins are Buzz Osborne (guitar/lead vocals) and Dale Crover (drums/vocals). The band was originally based in Montesano, WA before relocating to San Francisco, CA in 1988 and eventually settling in Los Angeles' San Fernando Valley.

The name "Melvins" came from a grocery clerk at the Thriftway in Montesano where Buzz Osborne worked. They chose this name as it was an appropriately ridiculous name that referred to the most hated fellow employee at the store.

Vinyl reissue of the band's 2013 release featuring their 1983 lineup. First time ever available on vinyl.
