Description
PRESSED ON CLEAR DOUBLE VINYL
LIMITED TO 200 COPIES WORLDWIDE
Originally released as a nine track EP on Bobbito Garcia’s legendary Fondle 'Em Records in 1996, Juggaknots’ Clear Blue Skies made an immediate impact and remains one of the most revered releases of the independent hip-hop era. The sibling trio of Breeze Brewin, Queen Herawin, and Buddy Slim combined razor-sharp braggadocio, off-kilter humor, and social commentary with thick, low-end driven production.
With 2026 marking 30 years since the world was first introduced to Clear Blue Skies, Coalmine Reissues commemorates the milestone with a fresh pressing of the expanded edition. Based on the 2003 full-length version and pressed on clear vinyl, this anniversary pressing revisits the group’s debut in its definitive extended form.
This edition features 11 additional tracks, including remastered selections and three bonus mixes, along with an alternate cover sourced from the original Steve Brock photo session.
Album Specs:
This edition is housed in a standard jacket with a 24pt board upgrade and is not a gatefold like the 2024 reissue, but features the same front and rear cover artwork. Pressed on clear vinyl and limited to 200 copies worldwide.
