THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT's 30th Anniversary Project "THEE 30TH" Finally Concludes! 2nd Album 'High Time' Gets First Analog Release as 180g Double LP

THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT's "THEE 30TH" project, launched to commemorate their 30th anniversary, will conclude with the release of 'High Time -THEE 30TH 180gx2 Definitive edition-' on Sunday, November 1, 2026.

"THEE 30TH" is a project based on the theme of <96k24b, 180g & 4K>, involving high-resolution distribution at 96kHz/24bit newly remastered from the original master tapes, re-release of analog records on 180g heavy vinyl, and 4K upconversion of music videos, all aimed at preserving THEE MICHELLE GUN ELEPHANT's works in high sound and image quality for future generations.

The 'High Time -THEE 30TH 180gx2 Definitive edition-' to be released this time is a monumental work that marks the first analog record release of their 2nd album 'High Time', originally released on November 1, 1996. Unlike the previously released record 'is this High Time?', this edition features all 12 tracks from the CD version of 'High Time', newly remastered.

It will be released on November 1, 2026, exactly 30 years after its original release date, in a package featuring a 180g heavy vinyl double LP and a double jacket.

Furthermore, Columbia Music Shop will sell "TMGE Vinyl JKT T-shirts (High Time)" featuring the impressive album jacket of 'High Time' along with the heavy vinyl LP.

As it will be a pre-order sale, fans should not forget to check the shop.

The "THEE 30TH" project has only two remaining releases aimed at preserving TMGE's works for posterity: the '7inch vinyl box' to be released on September 1, and 'High Time -THEE 30TH 180gx2 Definitive edition-' to be released on November 1.

Following this release announcement, the timer that has been constantly ticking on the THEE 30TH special site will stop counting down, but let's look forward to further updates, including the full details of the meticulously crafted artwork and related topics.
