Slums Attack Slums Attack [2026 Remastered] 2LP GATEFOLD RED & BLUE

Slums Attack's first album, released on September 5, 1996, by PH Kopalnia (later RRX), was nothing less than the start of Rychu Peja's marathon towards nationwide success. The album features tracks such as Bronx, Przemoc, and even the infamous 997, which left a lasting impression on old-school listeners for years to come. This is the raw, pissed-off, and uncompromising sound of SLU in the mid-nineties. Almost 30 years have passed since then, during which the album has received reissues with restored cassette cover art and bonus CDs featuring demo versions recorded at the Poznań-based Studio "Czad".

To mark such a major anniversary, we have undertaken the first-ever release of the Slums Attack album on double vinyl, with the original 1995 demo versions included on the second disc. The entire project was mastered in the analog world by DJ. Eproma, who, as a fan of this release, took on the challenge with great joy. "This album was still recorded using a tape system on a large Ampex reel-to-reel recorder" – Peja recalls. If you wanted to re-record something, fix it, or simply make a so-called edit or splice, there was no way to save it as a WAV file on a computer and insert or paste it into the right place with a mouse. Our editing system relied on tape tracks. Those were crazy and at the same time wonderful times, because everything was completely new to us from the beginning. We had no experience beyond the home-made method of working at home and experiments in the "Czad" studio, where we worked on a four-track Tascam cassette recorder. Despite this, the desire to release an album pushed us into the arms of a wonderful man – Andrzej Mikołajczak, who infected me with studio work. It was thanks to him that I became interested in many releases of Polish big beat and generally our entire broadly defined musical heritage released on wax – Rychu says. I remember days when instead of dreaming up more gangster visions, we simply sat in A-Mix Studio and Mr. Andrzej, as we used to call him, played. And he played beautifully. His Intro, which opens the disc to this day, is a masterpiece to me. It is not without reason that I often went out to him with pride during concerts (the famous Fifteen Stack at the Arena is proof of recognition of Andrzej Mikołajczak's talent, passion, and educational qualities). For me, it is an absolute tearjerker, I don't know why, but every time I hear this Intro, I feel moved. Today, when I look at these same analog recorders at Eproma, I am happy that we are doing this together and that what was created with great difficulty today matters to so many people.

On the occasion of the disc's 30th birthday, we decided to design the vinyl edition in three types:

• 2LP GATEFOLD RED & BLUE - standard version, unlimited sales,
• 2LP GATEFOLD PICTURE DISC - contains autographs, available in limited edition,
• 2LP GATEFOLD SMOKED BLUE - available for sale only during the pre-order period (2 weeks).

In addition, the 2 CD version (remastered by Emprom) in an elegant digipack. We would definitely like to sign the pre-orders for you, so for the first batch we will make a limited PICTURE DISC. As for other editions, we don't know yet – Iceman adds enigmatically.
