After completing a four year stint fronting GREAT WHITE, vocalist MITCH MALLOY returned to his home studio to put the finishing touches on what would become his ninth solo album, The Last Song. Despite Malloy's vast discography, The Last Song is the first album done solely on his own, from writing, arranging, performing, mixing, and to producing. The Last Song is also Mitch's first album to be released on vinyl.
The Last Song wasn't even meant to be released on vinyl. Enter SING Market, the unique boutique release upstart that offers more than just an album. SING Market prides themselves on offering limited edition bundles that feature digital and physical media, as well as experiences, behind-the-scenes material, and so much more. Recently they have offered previously out-of-print bundles by ANDY CURRAN (CONEY HATCH, ENVY OF NONE) and HAREM SCAREM.
The Last Song bundle comes with the following:
180 gram white vinyl (signed)
CD (signed)
8" X 10" picture (signed)
24" X 24" poster (signed)
