The classic 2001 album by this Adelaide trio reborn on vinyl for the very first time!

Recorded in Sydney and London in 2001 and produced respectively by ABC engineer Phil McKellar and former Gang of Four guitarist Andy Gill, This is This was the 4th album for Adelaide trio The Mark Of Cain and the first to feature drummer John Stanier formerly of US band Helmet.

Australian producer Phil McKellar was enlisted to capture the full energy of the band. His years as a Triple J’s chief live session engineer meaning he had the perfect chops to capture the band at their brutal best while former Gang Of Four guitarist Andy Gill was entrusted to help main songwriter Josie complete ideas not fully realised.

The recruitment of Gill was yet another coup for TMOC. In 1991 they had been the first Australian band to work with Steve Albini in 1995 the first Australian band to work with Henry Rollins and in 2001 the first Australian band to work with Andy Gill.

For this deluxe vinyl-edition of This is This, The Mark Of Cain have added two bonus studio tracks: "Introspection" (released initially as a b-side to the (R) Retaliate CD single) plus a previously unreleased Andy Gill extended mix of "Lockdown". Perhaps the real jewel in the crown though is an absolutely punishing 'Live at the Wireless' session for Triple J recorded in 2002 with the same line-up of Scott, Scott and Stanier. It will literally explode off your turntable. And all pressed on lovely sky-blue vinyl in an edition of 500 copies.
