Weathermaker Music, has announced July 20th as the official release date for CLUTCH’s first of three 2010 re-issues, the enhanced, expanded edition of From Beale Street to Oblivion. This 22 song, double CD not only features multiple versions of the band’s widely popular blues rock anthem “Electric Worry,” but includes 5 songs recorded at the Maida Valle Sessions at the world famous BBC studios in London, and 4 songs recorded live in Australia, as well as updated and upgraded artwork and packaging. From Beale Street to Oblivion isn’t the only re-issue in the works either. Weathermaker will re-issue Robot Hive/Exodus in September and Blast Tyrant in November, also as dual disc/expanded editions. Look for special vinyl versions of all the re-issues as well.

- CLUTCH is in an interesting position now. They’ve been around for 20 years and the sound and style they’ve been slogging with for all of that time is in the midst of a huge rebound. A tour mixing new and old that I wouldn’t mind seeing would be these guys, with the THE SWORD, EARLY MAN, and HOWL.
