Drop Nineteens are reissuing their basic debut, Delaware, on June 21 by way of Wharf Cat. The album was remastered by Carl Saff, and the brand new vinyl version contains a new cowl photograph. The authentic Delaware art work featured a photograph of a lady with a gun in her left hand. Now, the lady is holding a small bouquet of flowers.
