311 Celebrate 30th Anniversary of Landmark Self Titled
'Blue Album'
with Special Reissue
Bonus Tracks Released on Vinyl for the First Time Ever
Out Now
Grammy-nominated, platinum-certified rock innovators 311 are celebrating three decades of their iconic self-titled release—known affectionately by fans as the Blue Album—with a special 30th anniversary reissue, out today.
This definitive 21-track edition includes seven never-before-on-vinyl bonus tracks, compiling every song recorded during the original Blue Album sessions for the first time in one place. A pivotal release in the alt-rock canon, the Blue Album introduced a genre-defying fusion of rock, reggae, and funk that still resonates across generations.
The band shares, “Thirty years ago, our Self-Titled “Blue Album” came out and changed our lives. Today marks 30 years to the day since its release and we are so thrilled to be able to celebrate the anniversary with this special reissue. We cannot begin to express the love and appreciation we have for our incredible fanbase who have kept these songs alive with us for the last three decades.”
Nick Hexum will be answering questions on Reddit’s /music subreddit today, July 11 at 12pm CT / 1 pm ET Ask him anything!
