There you have it. Hot Sauce Committee Part 1 out September 15. Note the “Part 1”, I have a feeling that since this is a wacky album it’s a play off of Mel Brook’s History of the World, Part I.
There’s oddly no official release date on the Ill Communication reissue but Amazon and other retailers are reporting a July 14 release date. As previously announced, pre-orders for the expanded, remastered multi-format Ill Communication will begin July 6, with a physical release of July 14.
And the Hello Nasty reissue was imminent of course. We’re bound to see a To the 5 Boroughs reissue by the end of the year.
Boys, you might want to look over Step #5 again.
