Remastered and pressed on 180 Gram Purple Leopard vinyl featuring a jerkin' bonus commemorative 7-inch from former Mega Records label mates DuJour (2000-2001).

Based on the Archie Comics characters of the same name, Josie takes the rock and roll trio into the world of 2000's-era MTV in a satirical masterpiece that skewers the consumerism masquerading as identity that - even to this day - surrounds the music industry.
Tragically under-appreciated on its original release, Josie and the Pussycats was dismissed as just another lame comic-to-screen cash-in aimed squarely at teens (who couldn’t have cared less). But the film was actually a cinematic Trojan horse, a scathing satire on consumerism, pop music and the very genre of comic-to-screen teen movies. And, thanks to a cracking script, an all-star cast giving it their all, and a soundtrack that’s way more rocking than it had any right to be, JOSIE is an enduring big screen pleasure.


The film struggled to find an audience, but the music of these Pussycats is still beloved to this day. This may be in part to the powerhouse team involved, which included Kenneth 'Babyface' Edmonds, Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), Kay Hanley and Michael Eisenstein (Letter to Cleo) and Adam Duritz (Counting Crows), just to name a few.
