Rufus Wainwright’s acclaimed debut album, Rufus Wainwright, and his sophomore album, Poses, have just been released in 2LP vinyl editions in gatefold packaging. Named by Rolling Stone as one 1998’s best albums, Rufus Wainwright is sought after on vinyl, as it has never been widely released on LP. Selected by NME as a Top 10 album of 2001, Poses features “Cigarettes and Chocolate Milk” and Wainwright’s stirring cover of Lennon/McCartney’s “Across The Universe.” The 2LP release of Poses marks the album’s vinyl debut worldwide.
