Artoffact Records reissues underground classic ‘Nocturnal Earthworm Stew’ by David Pritchard on CD, 2LP (in 2 vinyl versions)
The electronic avant garden artist David Pritchard was the first Canadian signed to Island Records, and his groundbreaking LP “Nocturnal Earthworm Stew”, which features Nash the Slash, celebrates its 40th anniversary in 2017. Hence why Toronto-based label Artoffact Records announces that this Spring will see the 40th anniversary reissue of David Pritchard’s “Nocturnal Earthworm Stew” (subtitled in French ‘Bouillabaisse Nocturne Aux Vers De Terre’) on CD and 2 different 2LP vinyl versions (all available here in pre-order).
Originally scheduled to be released in 1976, the record didn’t come out until 1977, approximately 40 years ago. Although a CD reissue saw the light in 2004, both CD and original record are now hopelessly out of print. Artoffact is reissuing vinyl, CD, and digital remasters on March 10th (vinyl release in April). The vinyl versions will be available in 2 versions: a VERY limited cream colour 2LP version (available here in pre-order) and a normal black colour 2LP (available here in pre-order).
The Artoffact Records reissue is housed in a gatefold sleeve, complete with photos, reproductions of essays by David Pritchard and Nash the Slash, and an all-new piece by Scott McGregor Moore. The audio is remastered for vinyl across 3 sides, and a fourth side contains an etching of Pritchard himself. Bonus tracks that were never pressed to vinyl are also included.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
