As I Lay Dying's two recordings for Pluto re-issued on CD
MAINSTREAM hard rockers As I Lay Dying have responded to the growing
collectors' market for their early obscure recordings. A message on
their website reads, "Please stop paying $40 to $75 for our old CDs on
used CD websites. This May we're re-releasing our first two recordings
previously out on Pluto Records. Both 'Beneath The Encasing Of Ashes',
which was recorded two months after the band started, and our split EP
songs, which were recorded a year later, will both be on one CD. Wait
until May and you'll spend less than $15 to get two CDs' worth of
material. Understand that it is old material, but you'll be surprised
hearing what we did to some of the songs to make them sound clearer."
