A decade on from the of Ripely Pine, Lady Lamb's Aly Spaltro has created the definitive 5xLP box set to commemorate and expand upon her landmark debut. With the original songs remastered, Ten Years Of Ripely Pine also includes three LPs of newly recorded studio material, produced and arranged by Spaltro and mixed by original co-producer Nadim Issa. It captures the time, mood, art and ambition of Aly Spaltro in her early twenties, who had already accumulated years of playing and self-recording experience before laying down tracks for this giant of a debut record, and the sage wisdom of a decade's experience.

The group recorded at Figure 8 Studios in Brooklyn, New York. InchIt's taken me years to get here,Inch she says, Inchbut I'm sort of done with hiding myself. I want to be as honest as I can because that's why people turn to art.
