Come my lady/Come-Come my lady/Youre my butterfly, sugar babyIf there was a song-track to the turn of the millennium, Crazy Towns Butterfly was it, starting with its appearance on the 1999 album Gift of Game and winding up with its reign at #1 in the charts in February 2001. Anchored by a sample of Red Hot Chili Peppers Pretty Little Ditty, it forever defined the term nu-metal power ballad, and was a rare-for-the-genre love song to boot! But the album from whence it came didnt fly as high as it did, with over 2.5 million copies sold, just because of Butterfly. The Gift of Game brings the noise with an all-out alternative metal assault, and the bands rappersbolstered by guest appearances from KRS-One and Mad Lionare markedly better than their rap/metal contemporaries. And then theres the album art, created by member Shifty Shellshocks father and uncle, which lends a vivid rendering to the fantasies of every teenage boy listening to Lollipop Porn. In short, this was a freakin HUGE record that somehowsomehow!…has NEVER been on vinyl. So how to handle its momentous debut on its 25th anniversary? Well, first, weve created an inner sleeve with all of the lyrics (and there are a lot of em). Our sources also tell us that the very explicit hidden bonus track on the CD release has mysteriously made it on here. But when it comes to the vinyl, given what we anticipate is going to be, ahem, crazy demand, we have pressed the record in two different colors, one in Red Devil Velvet vinyl and the other in Yellow Butterfly vinyl. Come dance with us and Crazy Towntwice!
