Sass Jordan is celebrating the 25th anniversary of her third album, Rats. Released in 1994, Rats was one of the biggest releases of her career and still remains a popular fan favourite. In 2017 Jordan released Racine Revisited which was a brand new re-recording of her second album Racine to celebrate the anniversary of that album. To commemorate the anniversary of Rats, Jordan will release a special newly-manufactured orange-coloured vinyl. The limited-edition run of only 1,000 copies will be available at Jordan’s upcoming live shows, select retailers, and online along with exclusive bundles at Jordan’s official website.
Reflecting on Rats, Jordan explains,
“25 years is a long time, so I wanted to celebrate this record with some sort of offering, and that is why this vinyl re-release happened. This record was truly a milestone in my life, marking a turning point into a darker period. It was released in ‘94, three years before I left Los Angeles for good. It was a tumultuous period, filled with a lot of emotional chaos and bad decisions. The music was a fitting soundtrack to the confusion and anger of those times, as well as a catharsis, and it obviously ignited a fire that has burned well, even all these years later.”
Even years before Lilith Fair, Rats was an achievement in both musical quality and continued Jordan’s ability to be a fearless leader in the studio, and equally feel at home while performing to hundreds of thousands of fans around the world. Jordan says “I think Rats is a bit of a maverick, in that you rarely hear female artists expressing in this particular musical style, and I am honoured by the amount of people that have covered songs from it. I am really proud of it, and I think it is still one of my personal favourite pieces of work so far. I hope you enjoy it in its new format – I sure do!”
The limited-edition orange-coloured vinyl version of Rats will include the songs; “Damaged,” “Slave,” “Pissing Down,” “High Road Easy,” “Sun’s Gonna Rise,” “Head,” “Ugly,” “I’m Not,” “Honey,” “Wish,” “Breakin’,” and “Give.”
