Singer/songwriter Cass McCombs has announced the reissue of his first three records: Not The Way, A, and PREfection which are due for release on September 6 via 4AD. In celebration of the reissue, McCombs has also announced the As Paint on Fur Tour and shared a new video for a never heard before demo of “Sacred Heart” (from PREfection). Watch the Jerry Hsu-directed video below. Also find tour dates and track lists of the reissues.

This will be the first time the records are back in print since their original release by Monitor Records and 4AD in the early 2000s. The As Paint On Fur Tour draws from a lyric in his “So Damn Pure.” In a press release, McCombs promises his set to be “something old, something new.” Papercuts will support the West Coast shows while Advance Base will support the East Coast.
