• It’s hard to believe it’s been 12 years since Dan Snaith released his first album as Manitoba, back in the spring of 2001. In fact, April 1st marks the 10th anniversary of the release of his breakthrough album, Up In Flames, his biggest release until 2010’s huge Swim album. Up In Flames is still the biggest selling album in The Leaf Label’s history • To celebrate, we’re re-releasing all three Leaf albums on vinyl, making them available in the format for the first time in years • Subject to a well-documented lawsuit, Dan was obliged to change his artist name to Caribou, which was first used for the release of his third album, 2005’s The Milk Of Human Kindness • Start Breaking My Heart and Up In Flames will be available for the first time under the Caribou name, with fully restored album artwork, while The Milk Of Human Kindness will be an exact repro of the original vinyl release • All three LPs will also include a CD of the album • The three albums were all issued on vinyl in limited quantities at the time, but have all been out of print for several years
