Merge to reissue Portastatic's 'The Summer of the Shark' on vinyl

As we roll towards the end of 2014 the Merge Records 25th anniversary celebration that brought us a music festival, an art show, a 25k race and monthly reissues from the label's hefty catalog will come to an end soon, but there are still a few more reissues on the way. We already told you about October's reissue of East River Pipe's The Gasoline Age, and now November will see a Portastatic reissue.

Merge will release Portastatic's 2003 album The Summer of the Shark on vinyl for the first time on November 4 (election day). Each LP will be on white vinyl and include a download of the album.

Check out the song "Noisy Night" from The Summer of the Shark below along with the full album track list.
