Asthmatic Kitty Records is happy to announce that every Illinois: Special 10th Anniversary Blue Marvel Edition will also include a die-cut, Chicago flag star-shaped 12” of a demo version of “Chicago.” Sufjan, who plays guitars and organ on the song, recorded the track in 2004.
The Illinois: Special 10th Anniversary Blue Marvel Edition includes exclusive cover art featuring Chicago-born superhero Blue Marvel, licensed officially from Marvel. In addition to the “Chicago (Demo)” 12-inch, the double LP also includes “Antimatter Blue” and “Cape White” vinyl colors for the two discs. The audio for the special edition comes from a 2014 remastered version of Illinois.
Asthmatic Kitty Records pressed 10,000 of the Illinois: Special 10th Anniversary Blue Marvel Edition, and it will be available worldwide through your favorite local record store.
Asthmatic Kitty Records is also selling a special, misprinted 12-inch version of the song separately. The label on these 2,000 records incorrectly reads 45 RPM. Your can preorder this at store.asthmatickitty.com.
