#Outkast Announce 25th Anniversary Reissue of ATLiens

Outkast’s second album ATLiens is getting the 25th anniversary reissue treatment this summer. In addition to 14 new instrumental tracks, the record will be available in different deluxe vinyl editions (including a Vinyl Me, Please “Neon Green and Blue Galaxy” pressing and a Get on Down pressing in a custom gatefold and a glow in the dark 7″). It was mixed in Hi-Res 24bit sound. The reissue arrives August 27.

First released on August 27, 1996, ATLiens launched Outkast to a No. 2 Billboard debut after 1994’s Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. The duo reissued Stankonia for its 20th anniversary last year, and they were among the first artists honored at Atlanta’s new Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame earlier this year.
