And The Battle Begun 20th Anniversary Edition

Description

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of ...And the Battle Begun, Sargent House is releasing a limited double vinyl reissue. This edition includes a fully remastered version of the album as well as four previously unreleased live recordings, featuring fan-favorite tracks "Apparition," "In Her Drawer," and "Only for the Night." The entire package is presented in a gatefold sleeve adorned with gold markings, with a special "Eco Citrus" vinyl version reserved for independent record stores. Meanwhile, Rx Bandits will kick off a North American tour in June 2026, during which the album will be performed in its entirety. Originally released in 2006, ...And the Battle Begun marks a significant turning point in the band's career. Gradually moving away from its ska-punk roots, Rx Bandits develops an ambitious style that blends progressive rock, jazz fusion, reggae, dub, psychedelia, and sophisticated melodies. Considered one of the most significant independent albums of its time, it remains an influential work twenty years after its release. This reissue also pays tribute to the fact that it was the very first album released by Sargent House, highlighting its lasting importance in the history of both the band and the label.
