- What C_Wheeler said, this record is still available on Polyvinyl, don't pay these crazy resell prices!
(as of 11/3/24) 
Edited one year agoFrom what I understood, this is the most recent post regarding the re-issue as of August 2023. I hope Matt will update us soon in either this post or a new one.

Per Matt Talbott, represses (standard black and color TBD) will be up for preorder mid-summer 2023 and will ship before the end of the year.- As per Tim on the Hum Facebook page, band-sanctioned re-release coming this year.
One of the greatest Indy albums out there. With grungy lows, and soaring highs combined with impeccable timing HUM nails it with this album.
