Epitaph will be reissuing at least four records from Pennywise this year. The label will be digitally remastering the records and adding extra material (similar to Bad Religion last year) and the initial list will include Pennywise, About Time, Unknown Road and Full Circle due out in the coming months.
Producer Brett Gurewitz explained the motivation for remastering records in an interview last year. While he was speaking about the Bad Religion reissues, of note was this:
Digital mastering is better now, so I can dig up the original tapes and get a very accurate representation of how those master tapes sound. […] I wanted the old stuff to sound as good as it can be without in any way tampering with the original intention. There is nothing remixed, we didn't tamper, we just brought it into a much better focus.
