High Quality, Insert, Coloured Vinyl, Reissue, Remastered
7A Records is proud to present the first ever vinyl reissue of Mungo Jerry’s Snakebite album. Snakebite Revisited is pressed on 180g Blue Vinyl. It has been remastered and expanded with three bonus tracks and features a 12” colour insert with lyrics and extensive liner notes, including Ray Dorset’s own recollections. 20 years after 1970’s anthemic “In the Summertime” became an international chart-topper and sold an estimated 30 million copies worldwide, Mungo Jerry’s Ray Dorset was enjoying his creative freedom. In 1990, he sensed the time was right for a new recording project. The result was Snakebite, one of the most visceral and exciting albums in the Mungo Jerry discography. Snakebite first appeared in 1990 in the U.K. on the BBC Prestige Records label. 7A Records have remastered the recordings and expanded it with three bonus tracks. This, the first ever vinyl release of the album, includes a 12” colour insert with lyrics and extensive liner notes. The album received much critical acclaim upon its release and quickly became a fan favourite. Ray Dorset credits Snakebite’s varied feel for the album’s endurance. “I think Snakebite still sounds fresh because it’s not like any one style of music won out all the way through. I always try to integrate a certain level of spontaneity and dynamics in the recording studio. It’s got that live feel, and the lyrics have good stories and are interesting. I think you could go back and listen to it and say, ‘That sounds like it was recorded a couple of weeks ago.’ They’re good songs. I could play them onstage now, and 30-odd years later, they would still sound as fresh as ever.”[info sheet from distr.]
