This year has been extraordinary for Cracker and David Lowery's vinyl releases, and we're thrilled to offer you an unbeatable way to bring home both albums together.
Alternative History: A Cracker Retrospective
In November 2024, Cracker released Alternative History: A Cracker Retrospective, a 3LP limited edition colored vinyl set (presented in striking yellow, white, and orange vinyl housed in a stunning gatefold sleeve). This is a career-spanning collection that features 24 tracks of rare and unreleased alternate versions, re-recordings, demos, and live performances, many appearing on vinyl for the first time ever. The set includes a beautifully designed 12-page booklet showcasing credits and memorabilia that makes it a true collector's item.
Whether it's the never-heard-before slow and melancholic arrangement of "Merry Christmas Emily" (perfect for the season), the country-leaning reimagining of "Sick of Goodbyes" featuring members of Drive-By Truckers, or the earliest demo recordings from Cracker's formation, this retrospective serves as both a brilliant introduction for new fans and a treasure trove for longtime devotees who've followed the band's 35-year journey.
Fathers, Sons and Brothers
David Lowery has also just released Fathers, Sons and Brothers, a sprawling 28-track musical memoir available as a 3LP premium vinyl set. This intimate and deeply personal album chronicles his life from childhood memories in England through his years as the creative force behind two groundbreaking bands.
Critics have praised this album as nothing short of remarkable. As one reviewer noted: “By the end of this lengthy, insightful album, you get the feeling that you really know this artist, how he thinks, and have a good sense about who he really is… warts and all. Just as every good autobiography worth its salt does. Thankfully this one just happens to be bound with some truly gorgeous melodies and songs.”
Premium Packaging
Both albums are housed in premium packaging designed to be displayed and treasured. The vinyl editions feature colored vinyl pressings, gatefold sleeves with extensive booklets (28 pages for Fathers, Sons and Brothers and 12 pages for Alternative History), and meticulous attention to production quality that reflects the care these artists have put into their music over decades. These are collector's pieces, the kind of releases that serious music fans and Cracker devotees have been waiting for.
The Perfect Holiday Gift Bundle
These are limited edition releases that won't be available forever. With streaming algorithms constantly burying important music and these exclusive vinyl and CD editions being pressed in limited quantities, this gift truly is a one-of-a-kind treasure for the Cracker fan who has everything.
This holiday season, give the gift of music history, intimate storytelling, and absolute sonic beauty. Give the gift of Fathers, Sons and Brothers and Alternative History: A Cracker Retrospective.
Happy holidays from the Cracker family to yours!
