The Dandy Warhols bring us "The Dandy Warhols Are Sound"

Years back, 2001 and 2002 to be exact, The Dandy Warhols created an album titled The Dandy Warhols Are Sound in their hometown of Portland, Oregon.  The guys and gal turned the record into their label at the time, Capitol Records, only to have it rejected and ultimately remixed and re-worked by said label.  That  reworked record became what we all know as Welcome To The Monkey House. 

Now don't get us wrong, we are actually quite fond of the Monkey House record.  The sexy romp of We Used To Be Friends, the gentle and seductive Plan A, and the insanely addictive nature of The Last High.  This was a fun time for the Dandies - a strong, playful and rocking album, Taylor-Taylor sporting the ultimate mohawk, legendary live shows, and lots of great b-sides to compliment the singles. 

With all of our love for this record, we can't help but let our curiosity get the best of us.  We'd really like to hear what Courtney, Zia, Pete and Brent originally envisioned.   

The album in its original mix is due July 14th via Beat The World Records; download, pick up the CD and best of all, spin the vinyl. 

Great cover above.  We are picking this one up on vinyl.

Goonielips would have loved the banana. Gibby not so much.

First pressing on the vinyl was only 500. We have b/w 50 and 75 (we'll see what shows up) to sell from the website. First come first serve basis on the 14th. Album is distributed in stores but from the looks of the orders it's record collector clerks ordering single copies for themselves. www.dandywarhols.com. Thanks, hope this isn't spam but useful information for fans who want the album...

Hey Lee,

Not spam at all, and it's great info to have. Thanks for posting and giving us all the heads up.

Looking forward to the record.

I loved Monkey House. A lot. So it was weird to hear these different (if only slightly) versions of the songs. Still good, just...different.

I'm still so in love with "Insincere Because I" to this day...
