Previously only available as a limited-edition Japanese tour CD, the Obits – L.E.G.I.T. collection is finally available on vinyl! With 12 tracks, ranging from their first self-released single to covers and live songs that were originally only available as b-sides to their Sub Pop releases, L.E.G.I.T. is the ultimate collection. Featuring artwork from singer Rick Froberg, it is yet another reminder of how tragic it was that we lost Rick at such a young age. In the spirit of the original Japanese tour CD, all copies of the L.E.G.I.T. LP will come packaged in an OBI.

“We’re not into innovation as a band,” says Froberg, who’s already done his fair share of innovating with Drive Like Jehu and Hot Snakes. “I think innovation is overrated and an overestimated quality. Anything that’s going to be original is going to happen without your control. Things that make your band sound like you, are things you wouldn’t be able to change anyway. We just go ahead and play the stuff we like, and we don’t worry about originality per se, because that takes care of itself.”

Obits are Rick Froberg, Sohrab Habibion, Greg Simpson, and Scott Gursky. They reside in Brooklyn, NY.  Obits like a lot of music—Television, Wipers, Michael Yonkers, 13th Floor Elevators, Neu!, The Shangri-Las, African psych, punk rock.
