In a restoration personally overseen by Les Claypool, Primus’ acclaimed ‘Sailing The Seas Of Cheese’ mixed in stereo and Dolby 5.1 Surround.
Released in May 1991 by then-fledgling Interscope Records, ‘Sailing The Seas Of Cheese’ was Primus’ second studio album and major label debut, featuring the singles “Jerry Was A Race Car Driver,” “Tommy The Cat” (with Tom Waits voicing “Tommy The Cat”), and “Those Damned Blue-Collar Tweekers.”
‘Sailing The Seas Of Cheese’ is one of a handful of vital albums that ushered in the 1990s’ alternative revolution, answering slick ‘80s productions with a more irreverent - less glammy – approach to rock. “Mainstream rock was pretty cheesy,” says Claypool. “We were going to either sink or swim, hence ‘Sailing The Seas Of Cheese’.”
