Limited Edition 180 Gram "Violet" Purple 2LP reissue w/gatefold sleeve. *LP photo is for reference only. Your item remains sealed. The 5th studio album, originally released in 1994. It is the first album to include a full band arrangement, rather than synthesized and programmed backing tracks. The album's name, a reference to the man versus machine fable of John Henry, is an allusion to the band's fundamental switch to more conventional instrumentation, especially the newly established use of a human drummer instead of a drum machine. It is TMBG's longest record and was the band's highest-charting adult album, having peaked at #61 on the Billboard 200, until 2011's Join Us, which peaked at #32.Side D features select live rarities of the John Henry era.
