Enter: The Conquering Chicken is The Gits’ second, and final, full-length studio album. The Gits’ vocalist, lyricist, and frontwoman, Mia Zapata, was murdered in Seattle during the few weeks they spent recording the album that summer of 1993. Produced by the band and longtime friend Scott Benson, Enter: The Conquering Chicken was released posthumously on C/Z Records in 1994. The Gits formed in 1986 at Antioch College in Ohio, and moved together to Seattle in 1989 as the world was taking notice of the local scene. Although their raucous, blues-infused punk, powered by Mia’s indelible vocals, didn’t quite fit the mold being cast by their Pacific Northwest peers, the band immediately found a tight foothold and strong following. Enter: The Conquering Chicken showcases The Gits at the peak of their powers. Captured at the end of a packed west coast tour, they were on fire. Creative, inspired, and driven by the promise of a new musical chapter you can hear in these recordings. Remixed by Jack Endino in 2003, Songs like “Bob (Cousin O.),” “Guilt Within Your Head,” “Seaweed,” “Sign of the Crab,” “The Drinking Song,” and Mia’s jaw-dropping rendition of Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” reveal a distinct evolution in direction following their successful 1992 debut album, Frenching The Bully. “‘Sign of the Crab’ was the last song we created together as a band” says Bassist Matt Dresdner. “Based on Andy’s diabolical composition and Mia’s brilliant creepy lyrics, the music was punchy, complex, and full of a fun, twisted rage. The songs on Chicken provide just a glimpse of what we were onto.” Remastered in 2024 by Jack Endino for Sub Pop Records, this long out-of-print Seattle punk centerpiece is available on colored vinyl with new artwork and liner notes by Tim Sommer who aptly ris: “The Gits were an angry, inflamed slinky fully in tune with and tuned by the Bessie Patti Smith of her time, truly the only singer who could summon Joplin, Poly Styrene, Sam Cooke, Iggy Pop, and Ian MacKaye all in the same goddamn song.” The Gits are pleased to finally present listeners with the definitive edition of this recording to celebrate a taste of where Mia and their band might have gone.

Shipping, Returns & Cancellations

SHIPPING:

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders typically ship within 24-72 hours. Tracking is sent to the email you provide at check out and may take a few days to become active.

Any items ordered with Pre-Orders will be held until they can all ship together. If you need in stock items faster please order them seperately.

RETURNS:

Returns are only accepted on damaged or defective items. Return requests must be made within 7 days of delivery. Please save the original packaging.

If you own a Crosley, Victrola or any other lower end turntable that has no ability to adjust the weight of the tone arm and are experiencing skipping on a new record please try the "Penny Trick". Simply place a penny on the top of the cartidge and it should provide enough weight to resolve your issues. While a great entry to the world of vinyl we do recommend upgrading to a turntable with a tone arm that can be adjusted as this issue will randomly occur. We do not take returns in these cases.

Resellers: If you are buying from us for resale we honestly don't mind. However, please don't panic if something you bought suddenly isn't flipable for more money and then try to return stuff to us because you feel like you made a bad investment choice. Despite our outsized reputation we're a small shop, not amazon. Absorbing these costs adds up on places like ours. Plus a little patience always tends to pay off.

CANCELLATIONS:

Due to an increasing number of payment processors no longer returning transaction fees to sellers on cancelled orders and rising labor costs any orders or pre-orders that need to be cancelled before shipment will be assessed a 5% cancellation/restocking fee on the order total including shipping and any other taxes or fees associated with the order.

Thank you for your understanding.
