Giants Chair
Red and Clear (30th Anniversary Edition)
A cornerstone of Midwestern post-hardcore, Red and Clear was Giants Chair’s stunning 1995 debut — an album that balanced melody and muscle, tension and release, with anthemic precision. Tracked with Mike and A.J. Mogis at Whoopass Studio, its angular guitars and propulsive rhythms became a defining sound of the era. Now remastered by Duane Trower (Weights & Measures Soundlab), this 30th Anniversary Edition sharpens its edges without losing its raw urgency.
Housed in deluxe jackets crafted by Kansas City’s renowned Hammerpress, each edition is individually numbered and printed using letterpress techniques on heavyweight chipboard with metallic inks. The package includes:
- 12” x 12” lyric insert
- Exclusive 11” x 22” letterpress poster
- Three unique vinyl variants
- Alternative, Post-Punk, Indie Rock, Emo
- 44:46
- April 11, 2025

My description is basically "well done". This was always a great record limited by the technologies of the day. The remaster really brings it to life allowing you to hear more of the details of the instrumentation. The packaging itself is very sharp. It feels high quality without being indulgent.
Excellent copy, nicely packaged and arrived earlier than anticipated. Well done!
Been trying to find this album for at least 20 years. Finally got it. Excellent package and vinyl. I normally never leave reviews, but this deserves a 5 star review.
REAL NICE
