The Grand Theatre Volume One, the eighth studio album from Old 97's, returns to vinyl for the first time in over a decade — now pressed on limited-edition Whiskey Marble.
Released October 12, 2010, on New West Records, the album grew out of an unconventional writing process: the band took up a week-long residency at Sons of Hermann Hall in Dallas, road-testing new songs in front of a live crowd before heading to Treefort Studios in Austin to record them while they still sounded loose and lived-in. Over two dozen songs came out of those sessions — more than could fit on one record, with the leftovers eventually released as The Grand Theatre Vol. 2 the following year.
The results struck critics as some of the band's most vital work in years. PopMatters called it "the best sounding Old 97's record in quite some time," praising it as "wild, slightly unfocused, totally committed, and furiously paced." The album's most unusual track, "Champaign, Illinois," is a full rewrite of Bob Dylan's "Desolation Row" with new lyrics by frontman Rhett Miller — and Dylan liked it enough not only to bless the idea, but to let the band credit him as a co-writer, something he's rarely, if ever, granted to another artist.
Elsewhere, the title track and "The Magician" rank among the most purely fun songs in the band's catalog, while "You Were Born to Be in Battle" channels a straight-ahead Johnny Cash swagger.

Out of print on vinyl for more than a decade, The Grand Theatre Volume One returns here on Whiskey Marble for the first time ever in color — a defining chapter in the Old 97's twenty-first century run.

Shipping, Local Pick Up, Returns & Cancellations Policies.

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.

LOCAL PICK UP POLICY:

Due to a large amount of unclaimed local pick ups over the years we have updated our policy. Any orders that remain unclaimed after 90 days from the initial "ready for pick up" notification will be considered abandoned and returned to our system without refund. If you are having issues picking up your order within this time frame please contact us via orders@1234gorecords.com. If you need your order shipped we can easily do so for an added shipping fee.

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.
