Big Wreck Reissues The Pleasure and the Greed

Big Wreck is releasing a 25th anniversary edition of The Pleasure and the Greed, remixed and remastered by Ian Thornley and producer Eric Ratz. The reissue makes the album available on vinyl for the first time. The raw tracks sounded different from the finished record, lacking the imbalances and excessive high-end that bothered Thornley for years. Originally released in June 2001, the album reached the top 10 on the Canadian Albums Chart and contains 16 tracks, including Ladylike, which has reached millions of streams.

Chad Kroeger contributes guest vocals to a new version of Mistake, and Myles Kennedy appears on Breakthrough. A bonus track titled Mistake (2026 Demo) strips the song down to piano and Thornley's vocals. Nickelback previously covered Mistake live and included the performance on their Live at Home concert DVD.

Big Wreck will join Alter Bridge on a North American tour that begins November 5 in Philadelphia and concludes December 5 in Reno. As part of the run, Big Wreck will play two headline shows on November 14 in Sioux City and November 15 in Omaha.
