Thomas Dolby / Aliens Ate My Buick vinyl reissue

Thomas Dolby’s 1988 album Aliens Ate My Buick will be reissued on ‘crystal clear’ vinyl early next year.

His third album album features the singles ‘Airhead’ (a US Dance hit), ‘Hot Sauce’ and ‘My Brain Is Like A Sieve’ and saw Dolby move in a more funk-based direction (George Clinton wrote ‘Hot Sauce’ and had been collaborating with Dolby in the fluid, studio-based project ‘Dolby’s Cube’).

The vinyl reissue features the original seven-track vinyl version of the album (‘May The Cube Be With You’ was a cassette/CD-only bonus song) and is pressed on 180g ‘crystal clear’ vinyl. It comes with an insert and is limited to 1000 units worldwide (with 350 allocated to the UK).

Aliens Ate My Buick will be released on 24 January 2025, via Music On Vinyl. You can pre-order it via the SDE shop using this link or the button below.
