Andrew W.K. To Give Fans His Pants And Hair

Andrew W.K. recently announced plans to release a special 10th anniversary deluxe edition of his 2002 full length, I Get Wet.  He has now additionally annonced a super rare autographed edition limited to 500 copies, which also include personal stage items worn by Andrew W.K. himself.  The items may include a piece of Andrew W.K.’s own personal, stage-worn and filthy white Levi’s 501 jeans that were cut into 496 pieces, and a lock of W.K.’s unwashed hair, with one lucky winner taking home an autographed airplane ticket stub that W.K. used to fly from Prague to New York City.  The man himself explains this unique offering:

“I wanted to give a piece of myself and this party to everyone who got one of these limited editions… Originally, I had wanted to include used tissues and one of my hangnails, but I was told that international customs doesn’t allow sending human flesh or bodily fluids in music packaging.  So I decided to give the party people my dirty white jeans and hair instead.  My jeans and hair give me party power-kind of like Dumbo’s magic feather.  They’re blessed with the power of positive partying, and I hope that these objects bring even more magical partying to anyone who possesses them.”

The anniversary edition includes a double gatefold LP edition and edition 2-CD edition, both set for an August 28, 2012 release via Century Media.  The cover art features a photo-realistic oil painting by artist, Gonzalo Garcia and the packaging includes extensive liner notes and brand new photos spanning W.K.’s career.
