Launched on April 1, 1999 in San Francisco, CA, Ipecac Recordings is now at the quarter-century mark, celebrating its milestone anniversary with plans to reissue select works from their deep catalog on vinyl this year.
“A label does not last 25 years without consumer support. We are not the biggest or hippest record label, that was never our goal, but we are so lucky to have such a loyal, adventurous fanbase. We appreciate you and THANK you,” says Greg Werckman, co-founder of Ipecac alongside Mike Patton (Faith No More, and much more), who adds, “Ipecac was us realizing we needed to start creating our own universe, where albums that didn’t necessarily fit other, more traditional labels, could have a home.”
The first set of new/old vinyl are three reissues from Fantômas: the self-titled debut, The Director's Cut, and Suspended Animation on May 17. The label is also reissuing Dälek’s Negro Necro Nekros, coming May 10 on digital platforms and June 28 on vinyl.
Upcoming releases include the Melvins, Alessandro “Asso” Stefana, and "a recent tease from the label hinting at something from the Jesus Lizard."
