But over the years, Pinkerton has undergone a serious re-evaluation. Fans and critics now consider it to be a fine piece of work that was perhaps too far ahead of its time.

There’s a new (another!) reissue coming our way, this time through a subscription service called Vinyl Me, Please. The new edition will be pressed on “dark blue translucent vinyl with black marbling” with all kinds of cool new artwork.

Along with a 12-inch print from Japanese painter Fuco Ueda, there’s a Pinkerton-inspired sake cocktail recipe.

If you want this new edition, you have until May 15 to register at Vinyl Me, Please. Otherwise, you’re out of luck.
