Long out of print, As I Lay Dying's earliest recordings have become harder and harder to find as the bands' popularity continues to skyrocket. Now, available for the first time, Metal Blade Records and As I Lay Dying have teamed up to bring a LONG MARCH: THE FIRST RECORDINGS to the masses. The single disc collection contains the original Pluto Records recordings of Beneath the Encasing of Ashes and AILD's much sought after EP, while offering something entirely new.
Reviews:
''A Long March: The First Recordings'' is the first compilation album by American metalcore band As I Lay Dying. The album was released on May 16, 2006 through Metal Blade Records. It features their first album ''Beneath the Encasing of Ashes'' (2001), as well as re-recorded and original versions of the songs featured on their split album with American Tragedy.
The album was released because the band - as they said - "were a bit tired of seeing ''Beneath the Encasing of Ashes'' being sold for unreasonable prices ($90+ on eBay)", so they decided to re-release all of their early recordings in one package. - Wikipedia
