Modern Classic Recordings, an imprint of Light in the Attic Records, proudly announces the deluxe vinyl reissue of Morphine’s 1997 album Like Swimming, marking the very first
availability of the title on wax.

The album has been lovingly remastered by Pete Weiss at Boston’s Jade Cow Music, with
lacquers cut by John Golden. The record was pressed at Austin, TX’s Gold Rush Vinyl and
is available in two colorways. The 1xLP Like Swimming (which features such favorites as
“Early to Bed,” “French Fries with Pepper,” and “Eleven O’Clock”) can be found on 180-
gram opaque blue or translucent red wax.

Rounding out the package is a 20-page booklet, featuring rare and never-before-seen
images from the band’s archives, including photos by Lana Z. Caplan and Danny Clinch,
artifacts from Morphine’s career, and unseen art by the band’s late frontman, Mark
Sandman. A major highlight is the insightful new liner notes by Ryan H. Walsh—a Boston-based journalist, musician, visual artist, and author of the acclaimed 2018 book Astral Weeks: A Secret History of 1968. Walsh’s notes include a handful of new interviews
detailing the band’s career, including one of the final interviews with Morphine drummer
Billy Conway, who sadly passed away in 2021 following a battle with cancer. The album is
housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket, featuring gorgeous art direction and design by Darryl
Norsen at D. Norsen Design, also of Boston.

Dedicated to the memories of Sandman and late drummer Billy Conway, both albums were produced with the full support of Morphine’s surviving members (drummer Jerome Deupree and saxophonist Dana Colley), as well as the band’s friends, family members, and collaborators—many of whom shared their memories with Walsh.
