Bad Livers + Record Store Day 2025
One of our favorite records of all time is Delusions of Banjer, the classic Bad Livers 1992 debut, produced by Paul Leary of the Butthole Surfers. It hasn't been available on vinyl since its original pressing, and Terminus Records has licensed the record courtesy of Quarterstick Records.
It is with immense pride that we announce Delusions of Banjer has been selected as part of Record Store Day 2025! The album features AAA lacquers cut from the original analog tapes, meticulously remastered by our friend Pete Lyman at Infrasonic Mastering. This Record Store Day exclusive is a limited edition of 1,500 copies on 180-gram colored vinyl.
The Bad Livers' blend of bluegrass, punk, and the "old, weird America" was genuine and played with undeniable conviction. While they had deep roots in traditional music, they approached it with a raw, experimental energy that set them apart. It was bluegrass for misfits, outlaws, and musical adventurers - wild, unpredictable, and unapologetically original.
We hope you'll support Record Store Day on April 12, 2025, by visiting your local independent record store, whether to pick up this title or any other. These stores are the backbone of music culture, and Record Store Day is a celebration of the artists, albums, and fans that keep the spirit alive. If you've never heard Delusions of Banjer, this is the perfect time to dive in. And if you already love it, you'll want to hear this remastered vinyl edition the way it was meant to be experienced. See you on Record Store Day!

Georgia Blue
In the days following the 2020 presidential election, Jason Isbell vowed to record an album of songs by his favorite Georgia artists if the state flipped blue. Jason Isbell & The 400 Unit have made true on that promise and recorded an outstanding album of covers that was digitally released in October 2021 and will see a vinyl/cd release in November. Here at Terminus HQ, we are particularly excited about the beautiful collaboration with Adia Victoria and their take on Precious Bryant’s song “The Truth.” A fitting song for today’s times and one that Precious would have loved. Other artists featured on the album include: Brandi Carlile, John Paul White, Julien Baker, Béla Fleck, Steve Gorman, Peter Levin, Amanda Shires, Brittney Spencer, Chris Thile, and Sadler Vaden. The whole album is fantastic and proceeds from the project are earmarked for three organizations: Black Voters Matter , Fair Fight Action and Georgia STAND-UP . Support these great organizations and also pick up some Precious Bryant on vinyl at our SHOP. They make great holiday gifts!
