Primus - Sailing The Seas Of Cheese LP

2013 Reissue

In a restoration personally overseen by Les Claypool, Primus' acclaimed 'Sailing The Seas Of Cheese' has been remastered for the first time since its 1991 debut by founding members Claypool and Larry LaLonde.

Released in May 1991 by then-fledgling Interscope Records, 'Sailing The Seas Of Cheese' was Primus' second studio album and major label debut, featuring the singles "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver," "Tommy The Cat" (with Tom Waits voicing "Tommy The Cat"), and "Those Damn Blue-Collar Tweekers." The music videos for "Jerry Was A Race Car Driver" and "Tommy The Cat" received heavy play on MTV and the album hit #2 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, peaking at #116 on the Billboard 200.

Comprised of bassist/vocalist Claypool, guitarist LaLonde, and drummer Tim "Herb" Alexander, Primus toured extensively in 1991 and 1992, including dates with Public Enemy, Anthrax, Fishbone, Rush and U2. "Sailing The Cheese" was certified Gold within two years, eventually climbing to Platinum in 2001.
