    On November 20, 2012, Suction Records will reissue Ceramic Hello's seminal 1981 LP, "The Absence of a Canary." A long-time cult favorite among fans of obscure '80s synthpop, this LP remains a highly sought-after by "minimal synth" vinyl collectors. The LP has been painstakingly remastered, transferred from perhaps the last sealed copy of this LP in existence. Long-time followers of Suction Records will that we had originally planned to reissue this LP in 2002. Ten years + one sold-out reissue on VOD later, and we are very excited to make this Canadian minimal synth classic available again.

    Although this won't be the first official reissue of the LP, it is the first time it will be reissued in its original single-LP format, with the original artwork. It is also the first time that the LP will be reissued in CD / digital format (in addition to vinyl, of course!).
