Shifty's Tavern by Lilybandits
This album was originally released in 1995 on CD only. Realizing that 2020 would be the 25th anniversary of its release Trent contacted Todd & Jason with the ridiculous idea of a 25th anniversary vinyl release. Much to his surprise they both thought it was a good idea. In February of 2020 the project was put in motion. In march of 2020 the world shut down. Not knowing what the future held, the project was shut down as well. In late 2020 the world was still spinning so it was put back in motion and the 25th anniversary release of Shifty's Tavern became a 27th anniversary release finally seeing the light of day in November 2022.
