Release date: Dec 5, 2006

Portland's idiosyncratic rap heroes the Buttery Lords proudly announce the Collector's Edition reissue of their underground hit Buttered For Her Pleasure. This album is a unique hip-hop experience featuring live bass and drums that showcase the imaginative lyrics of gifted MCs Dr Marble, Hub, and Baby Powder Fresh.

In addition to the ten original tracks and a dub remix, the Collector's Edition of Buttered For Her Pleasure features an industry first: commentary tracks! These six tracks are just like a DVD commentary, but without the stupid pictures, as the MCs offer insight and colorful anecdotes about the writing and production of the songs.

"Make U Sad" is a dark, densely orchestrated tale of woe, featuring cello, upright bass, sitar, and lyrics that would make Jesus punch a puppy right in the face. Spelling lessons and sexual innuendo blend seamlessly in "Let's Get Buttery," a steamy favorite of the group's frenetic live shows. The anthemic dance track "Oh So Creamy" provokes outlandish gyration, while "Vitamin R" is a horn-driven ode to the now-defunct Rainier pounder. And yes, that is Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler", although you might not recognize it anymore.

Mixed by indie rock icon Larry Crane at Jackpot! Recording Studio, Buttered For Her Pleasure may be one of the few hip-hop albums ever produced without a single drum machine, loop, or even a click track. The elastic, jazz-influenced bass lines of PBR-1 are balanced with powerful, buttrock-derived drumwork by Voltron's Booty - all recorded live and uncut. The Lords then added touches of horns, keys, strings, and other tasty bits, crafting arrangements to frame the witty dementia of their narratives. Buttered For Her Pleasure was originally released four years ago and sold exclusively at the Buttery Lords' famously unchained live performances. Despite a ridiculously limited print run, it won them a place in the hearts of fans and critics alike. Now restored in remastered glory, the Collector's Edition is ready to unleash its creamy splendor upon the world.
