I'm way too old to be that post-millennial, but I’m VERY proud to present this 25th anniversary deluxe reissue of Wigmaker in an expanded 4LP box set.

The four LPs contain all 27 tracks from the “Wigmaker” double CD remastered for vinyl, including complete lyrics, original liner notes & production credits, plus an entire LP side of unreleased songs from Tom's beloved 1996 version of the album.

The set also includes a 36-page book, with a critical appreciation by Matmos’ Drew Daniel, and a 10,000 word oral history of the five year period 1995-2000 that Tom worked on Wigmaker, including interviews with the band, the label and the many guest musicians and friends

But there's more — because everything wouldn't fit in the 4LP box, there's a FIFTH LP. Packaged "Two Virgins" style in a brown paper wrapper due to its frank depiction of the human form, this bonus LP has the 5 unreleased songs from the original sessions not included in the box

Up for preorder now, the whole set ships April 10th 2025 on what would have been Tom Smith’s 69th birthday. Also available for distribution and mailorder from Revolver/Midheaven.
