Following a busy and fruitful 2013 that saw the release of his exceptional second album Half Of Where You Live and shows worldwide, Gold Panda has reissued one of his earliest releases, Quitter’s Raga. The two-track 7”, long since sold out, was originally pressed by Make Mine records in 2009, with the now-cult track still being a staple of the artist’s live set.
Newly issued on Gold Panda’s own label NOTOWN Recordings, the vinyl-only release is limited to 600 copies as a deluxe heavy pressing and features the original.
The full tracklisting is:
A) Quitter’s Raga
B) Fifth Ave
A free download of b-side, Fifth Ave, is available now, via http://soundcloud.com/goldpanda/sets/quitters-raga
The 7″ is available to buy now on the Wichita store.
