Evolving from a garage punk band in the vein of the Replacements, Dinosaur Jr., and Mudhoney to a literate, pretentious, soul-inflected post-punk quartet, the Afghan Whigs were one of the most critically acclaimed alternative bands of the early '90s. Although the band never broke into the mainstream, they developed a dedicated cult following, primarily because of lead singer/songwriter Greg Dulli's tortured, angst-ridden tales of broken relationships and self-loathing. the Afghan Whigs were one of the few alternative bands around in the late '90s to acknowledge R&B, attempting to create a fusion of soul and post-punk.

GENTLEMEN AT 21 presents the original record’s 11 tracks, remastered. In addition GENTLEMEN AT 21 includes all the original eight demos for the album, which were recorded at John Curley’s Ultrasuede studio space in Cincinnati, which are previously unreleased. The bonus material also includes the original Debonair single b-sides, including “Mr. Superlove” and a cover of the southern blue-eyed soul classic “Dark End of the Street,” along with three songs recorded live for KTCL in Denver, previously issued on the What Jail Is Like EP. The set comes packaged with a faithful reproduction of the original sleeve art and its striking front cover image, a homage to Nan Goldin’s iconic “Nan and Brian in Bed, New York City,” that has proven to elicit just as profound a connection for the fans as the music on the album.

Limited edition worldwide of 5000 units, 3LPs, 180 gram black vinyl, capacity jacket printed on foil board. Also included are reproductions of promotional items from the original 1993 release including 1 of 5 different 8”x10” B&W promo photos, a 2”x5” sticker w/ the Afghan Whigs ‘Stax’ logo & the famous Do Not Disturb plastic doorhanger.
