Special 20th anniversary vinyl editions of Sufjan’s Michigan album out now: second pressing arriving in fall
AKR has partnered with Third Man Pressing in Detroit to release three special editions.asthmatickitty.com
Our pressing of the University of Michigan/Michigan State AKR 20th Anniversary Edition of Sufjan’s Michigan sold out in minutes, and many fans were not able to secure a copy. But we have good news! We’ve secured a second pressing at Third Man Records to arrive in fall of this year.
Pre-orders will open tomorrow Friday June 16 at 10AM EST and remain open until 10PM EST, or until supplies last. This second pressing will ship Fall 2023. You can pre-order it here.
Note: this will be it for this edition (we’re only twenty once!), so this is your last opportunity to purchase this edition.
This is awesome! I did manage to get one, and if it looks like the mockup, it'll be a gem of a piece - that hopefully sounds goodSpecial 20th anniversary vinyl editions of Sufjan’s Michigan album out now: second pressing arriving in fall

. These announcements of pressing more are welcome news, but they always strike me as weird, in the sense that did they really not expect a /500 of Michigan to sell out instantly??? I mean, just do an initial run of, dunno, 5k, and then you prob avoid this.

Yeah I honestly don’t get why HUGE artists press anything less than 1000 of a unique edition of an album. BSS announced a repress of YFIIP and I think they did 5,000 copies. Suf could easily sell 5,000 of this album.This is awesome! I did manage to get one, and if it looks like the mockup, it'll be a gem of a piece - that hopefully sounds good
The original Indie darling
I think a good way to judge this could be venue size when an artist tours. Unfortunately Sufjan hasn't done much (any?) touring in the last 5 years. But way back in 2016, he played the Hollywood Bowl (17.5k capacity), Red Rocks (9.5k capacity). For an indie artist, I think of that as huge.
He has a gold record to his name as well (Illinois).
Sufjan is like National level of popularity now. Maybe even more because he exploded when he had 3 songs featured on Call Me By Your Name and was nominated for an Oscar and Grammy.
Yeah, I guess I was more thinking about popularity within the world of people who follow music, not popularity in terms of general population, where you need to be on the Madonna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Garth Brooks, etc level. I definitely agree with you that 75% of gen pop (prob 90+% actually) would have no idea who he is.
I get that... I'm willing to bet his fans skew higher in owning a turntable than the Swifties.... know what I'm saying. Although, I am all for there being a gang of Sufjan fans fucking with the Eletric Mayhem in season two.
