Next year is Ipecacs 25th Anniversary, and they couldn’t have made it this long without the support of Indie Record Stores. To start the celebrations, they’re releasing the 2005 album from General Patton vs. The X-Ecutioners on vinyl for the first time ever…and it’s only available at INDIE STORES, in a limited Silver Streak color, on March 1st, 2024. The release teams up Mike Patton, the legendary frontman for Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk and countless others, with one of the most respected DJ crews in all of hip-hop, The X-Ecutioners. The collaboration came about after both factions performed a few improvisational live shows together. With the sweet scent of chemistry soon wafting through the air, it was decided to take it a step further – collaborate on a full-on recording. What you get are 23 tracks that approximate a head-on collision between hip-hop and the wild and whacky world of Ipecac.” Tracklist: Side A 1. “X-Men Doctrine and Declaration: Target=40:40:11N 73:56:38W” 1:30 2. “General P.
