On December 7, 1999, the then-fledgling Eyeball Records released the debut album by New Jersey band called Thursday. "Waiting," in itself, made modest waves during its initial release, but as the band prepared its follow-up, 2001's breakthrough "Full Collapse," Thursday's debut quickly became more of a herald than an introduction: this is the sound of a band in the middle of a discovery process that would eventually take them to legendary status around the world. Having officially gone out of print when Eyeball ceased operations, "Waiting" has been unavailable in physical, digital and streaming formats since 2012. But in 2015, on the fifteenth anniversary of its release, Collect Records is finally giving this classic album the special deluxe edition reissue package it deserves. The vinyl version features the original album remastered and repackaged with a die-cut sleeve, original liner notes and a bonus 7" featuring previously unreleased demos from this period, including one never-before-released song.
