    Where's the be sure my grave is kept clean line from? I am not familiar with that.
    Old blues song. Mark covered it at least once. Dylan, too.

    Mark also sings the line “see that my grave is kept clean” repeatedly in Rising High Water, the last track on the Black Phoebe EP that he recorded with Shelley

    Holy shit! Can’t wait for this!



    We are thrilled to announce Bubblegum XX, the 20th anniversary edition on August 23rd.

    Bubblegum is undoubtedly one of Mark Lanegan’s masterpiece records. A dark, throbbing malevolent cauldron of songs.

    After years spent honing his craft as a songwriter, Mark took some time out to join his comrades in QOTSA which heavily informed his next visit to the studio.

    The sessions for this record found Mark at one of his most creative and experimental peaks. Surrounded by an incredible collection of musicians,Bubblegum is the sum of all these extraordinary parts.

    The original Bubblegum record, its sister EP ‘Here comes the weird chill’ & the bsides from those records have all been remastered at Abbey Road studios in London.

    We went into his archive and we’ve pulled out some of the unreleased songs that were recorded during those same sessions and mastered those too. There was a wealth of astonishing material (that now adds Beck to the list of accomplices), and reading through Mark’s notes, we saw that all of these were included in the final running order at one point or another before the final tracklist was called.

    The set is rounded out with a collection of demos produced by Troy Van Leeuwen. Troy recorded these in various hotel rooms on the Gold Coast of Australia when they were on tour. They are beautiful and included here in their entirety. A really special collection of recordings.

    Celebrating the 20th anniversary of Bubblegum is the beginning of a small series of plans we have for this year.

    Your kind words and love for Mark have been the source of much comfort in recent times, and we’re excited to be able to share with you previously unreleased material as a thank you.


    According to Rolling Stone “The release will be available as a four-LP or three-CD set and will also come out digitally. All of the music, including the original album and the EP Here Comes That Weird Chill (Methamphetamine Blues, Extras & Oddities), which was a double-LP set, has been remastered at Abbey Road. Twelve of the 40 tracks in the collection have never come out before.”

    Beggars Arkive in conjunction with the Estate of Mark Lanegan, are honored to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of Mark Lanegan’s acclaimed 2004 album Bubblegum. On August 23rd, we will release Bubblegum XX - a set of releases that include a remastered double LP edition of the original album and a 4XLP/3XCD/Digital release containing 40 remastered tracks, 12 of which are previously unreleased.

    The limited-edition Bubblegum XX 4XLP box contains a 64-page hardcover book with essays by Troy Van Leewuen, Josh Homme, Chris Goss, Alain Johannes, David Catching, Greg Dulli, Duff McKagan, and Brett Netson along with studio notes and previously unseen photographs by Steve Gullick. It includes Bubblegum, which has been cut as a double LP and remastered by Geoff Pesche at Abbey Road. It also includes a remastered edition of Here Comes That Weird Chill (Methamphetamine Blues, Extras & Oddities)to which three bonus tracks have been added. The fourth LP contains demos and unreleased tracks, comprised of outtakes from the Bubblegum sessions and tracks recorded, produced and mixed by Troy Van Leeuwen in various hotel rooms with Mark singing and Troy playing all the instruments. The set was executive produced by Mark’s former manager Brian Klein, who worked with him during the Bubblegum era.

    The demos and unreleased tracks are beautiful to hear. Mark’s voice is front and center, and as Josh Homme notes in the book, “Mark’s early solo works are undeniably powerful. They’re sombre, fragile, breath-taking, beautiful and they’re more real than everyone else’s.” Of the thirteen tracks, seven of them are outtakes from the Bubblegumsessions. “Union Tombstone” was a song that Mark wanted Beck to contribute to, and when it was sent to him, he was working on his own album, so it was set aside. Beck added vocals and harmonica to the track this year. 

    The last six tracks on the album were recorded, produced and mixed by Troy Van Leeuwen in various hotel rooms with just Mark singing and Troy playing all the instruments. About the sessions, Troy said… “So these hotel demo sessions were basically forgotten...When I heard the news of Mark's passing, these memories started rushing back to me. I searched through my archive of drives and somehow magically was able to open up these sessions. I thought to myself, “That NEVER happens.” These ideas couldn’t be more fresh out of the tap. The original rough mixes are a real time capsule that stands up to the 20 years that have passed. It’s a true gift from Mark to those of us who love him and his unvarnished expression of beauty. With every listen, I am humbled and honored to share his gift with you.”

    Mark had been demoing songs for a new album, and he was booked to record at Abbey Road. It was a long-time dream of his to record in the legendary London studio, but since he never had the chance to do that, it's fortuitous that the remastering for this release took place there, handled by Geoff Pesche. Mark had never been satisfied with the original cut of Bubblegum, so we are honored to help make his dream come true posthumously.

    When Mark Lanegan departed this world in 2022, he left us with a stunning & wildly eclectic body of work that includes two memoirs, and a musical output of seven albums with the Screaming Trees, thirteen solo albums, and collaborative albums and singles with folks including Queens Of The Stone Age, Soulsavers, Gutter Twins & Isobel Campbell and many others. We are all thankful for what we have been left with and honored to celebrate this beautiful album.

    I saw them way back then a couple times. ML was great in his ghostly way. Just stood there and let his velvet voice flow. The big brothers ran all over the place rocking out. Now I know he was a sick drug addict most of the time. Makes more sense.
