Omnivore

Omnivore Recordings is an independent record label based in Los Angeles, USA. Founded in 2010 by music industry veterans Cheryl Pawelski, Greg Allen, Dutch Cramblitt, and Brad Rosenberger, the label specializes in preserving legacies and music created by historical, heritage, and catalog artists. They are also known for releasing previously unissued and newly found "lost" recordings.

With a mission to honor the rich musical history of artists from various genres, Omnivore Recordings has acquired the catalogs of renowned musicians such as *The Buck Owens Estate*, *Big Star*, and *Game Theory* in 2017. This acquisition further solidifies their commitment to preserving important musical works that may have otherwise been forgotten or lost.

As a leading authority on archival releases and reissues, Omnivore Recordings ensures that fans of these artists can continue to enjoy their timeless music while introducing new audiences to their incredible talent. With a dedication to quality sound restoration and comprehensive liner notes, they provide listeners with an immersive experience into the artist's world.

Iconic Minneapolis band's debut reissued with bonus tracks! When people think of the 'Minneapolis sound,' most ears point to Prince. But there were many other highly revered and influential bands on the scene in the '80s and '90s, Trip Shakespeare, certainly among them. Matt Wilson and Elaine Harris met at Harvard and began playing together while Matt's hometown music scene was exploding with not only Prince, but bands like Husker Dü and The Replacements. Matt asked Elaine to head back to Minneapolis with him, where they hooked up with Matt's friend, John Munson to form Trip Shakespeare. The band became a local sensation and their debut - 'Applehead Man' - appeared on the regional label, Gark, in 1986. Omnivore Recordings is proud to bring Trip Shakespeare back into the spotlight with a reissue of that classic debut, including seven previously unissued bonus tracks, some with Matt's brother, Grammy(R) winning songwriter Dan Wilson, who soon joined the band becoming the fourth member of Trip Shakespeare. 'Applehead Man' (co-produced by the band's John Munson) will be released in a digipak with liner notes from Jon Niccum (author of The Worst Gig), and previously unseen photos. The LP (first pressing on translucent red vinyl, with black to follow) contains the original ten tracks, liners and photos, and a download card for the entire CD program. Trip Shakespeare would eventually be signed to A&amp;M Records, and later, Munson and Dan Wilson would go onto form Semisonic, but the Trip truly starts at 'Applehead Man'.
