JA’s, Slow’s, and my copies of Super Sound 25
A few artwork Easter eggs you can spot:
1. Paul. Obviously.
2. A Levi’s button. Because destiny sometimes comes with copper rivets.
3. “1999.” Yes — Super Sound 25 is fashionably one year late. Sorry-not-sorry.
4. Peter Getty’s Emperor Norton Records logo. EN was run by Steve Pross, who licensed Super Sound and gave us some of the best times of our lives.
5. The Viper Room marquee. Johnny Depp’s club. Pepe wasn’t the headliner — but the staff liked us so much they put our name first anyway. Rock’n’roll hospitality!
6. “Three Times a Player.” The original Pepe demo EP that grew up, got a job, and became Super Sound.
7. “C. BUSH.” Calvin Bush kicked off the trend by naming TTaP “Downtempo Single of the Month.” Since then, Pepe albums have collected Albums of the Month, Albums of the Year… and occasionally Albums of “What on Earth Did I Just Hear?”.
8. “AVOID.” As in the infamous review ending: “Avoid.” A reminder that anything above average will never be everyone’s cup of tea. (And we’re definitely not tea. Well, except maybe this time of the year ... in northern Finland, the sun comes up at January o’clock. It also rains almost constantly. Sometimes black tea with honey beats even ... the other black drink! )
9. Revox G-36 tube reel-to-reel. Bought with Super Sound money — because during the making of the album, I didn’t actually own a reel-to-reel yet.
10. “Pepe Delux.” Lifted from a poster in The Walking Dead comic. Super Sound helped us gain some fantastic (Finn-tastic?) fans.
11. Carpet samples. Because the album was mostly made of samples — so you’d better buy it before it becomes illegal. (Hint hint.)
12. Plus a few more secrets. I won't reveal everything — where’s the fun in that?
