They Might Be Giants' fifth studio album John Henry marked a pivotal moment in the duo's evolution, as it was their first recording with a full backing band after years of drum machine-driven compositions. Originally released in 1994 on Elektra Records, this rock album showcased John Flansburgh and John Linnell expanding their signature quirky songwriting with a fuller, more dynamic sound.
This special 2025 repress on stunning violet vinyl is limited to just 1000 numbered copies and includes rare live material from the John Henry era spanning over two decades, from 1994 Sony Music Studios sessions to a 2018 performance in Belgium. The 180-gram pressing comes in a deluxe gatefold sleeve with printed lyric inner sleeves and includes a download card, making it an essential piece for both longtime fans and vinyl collectors.
