Archers of Loaf are plotting a reissue of Vee Vee.  Merge has announced that an expanded Vee Vee will drop on February 21 on double CD, vinyl and digitally. On top of Bob Weston’s remastering job of the 13 songs that scored the 1995 effort (he was also the album’s original engineer), rarities, demos and B-sides are included on disc two.
