King Gizard & The Lizard Wizard
Heavenly RecordingsRe-Issue campaign on Re-Vinyl
Since 2012, Australian rockers King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have released 15 albums and other special editions. Probably no other band has released so many new LPs in recent years. In the course of the re-release of „The Rancid Rainwater Eco Mix“ edition on the occasion of the #loverecordstores campaign last year, the musicians also thought about the topic of sustainability.
Stu Mackenzie said: „In 2020, plastic is in our oceans, it’s in our soils, it’s in our bodies. The irony of making music that will be pressed on a giant plastic disc is not lost on me. It is a privilege and a responsibility to own this record or any other. Be thoughtful and be kind to Mother Nature. We need her.“ (Source: https://heavenlyrecordings.com/heavenly-love-record-store-day-releases)
optimal media has produced eight records from 100% recycled coloured vinyl (Re-Vinyl) for the edition. The covers are made of 100% recycled and FSC-certified cardboard. All inserts, stickers and download cards are also made from 100% recycled, FSC-certified paper. Printing was done with vegetable oil-based inks.
The covers were packaged in outer packaging made of recycled uncoated paper and cellophane was not used. The issue was made climate neutral.
