20th Anniversary Edition Double LP!
Remastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road!
Beggars Arkive in conjunction with the Estate of Mark Lanegan, are honored to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Mark Lanegan's acclaimed 2004 album Bubblegum.
The original Bubblegum album is available as a double LP, titled Bubblegum XX. It has been cut as a double LP and remastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road.
Mark had been demoing songs for a new album, and he was booked to record at Abbey Road. It was a long-time dream of his to record in the legendary London studio, but since he never had the chance to do that, it's fortuitous that the remastering for this release took place there, handled by Geoff Pesche. Mark had never been satisfied with the original cut of Bubblegum, so Beggars Arkive are honored to help make his dream come true posthumously.
When Mark Lanegan departed this world in 2022, he left behind a stunning and wildly eclectic body of work that includes two memoirs, and a musical output of seven albums with the Screaming Trees, 13 solo albums, and collaborative albums and singles with folks including Queens of the Stone Age, Soulsavers, Gutter Twins & Isobel Campbell and many others. Beggars Arkive are thankful for what they have been left with and honored to celebrate this beautiful album.
Bubblegum XX features features members of Queens of the Stone Age, PJ Harvey, Greg Dulli, Izzy and Duff from Guns N' Roses/Velvet Revolver, among other assorted rock luminaries.
"When he told me: 'I'm calling it Bubblegum', I was like you're a sick f**k, because I knew him so that's funny to me, 'cause Lanegan wanted to be a new piece of bubblegum on a sunny happy day. But he was the gum underneath the desk. He was the bubblegum underneath the table. He was the dark Lord." – Josh Homme
