Creed’s Human Clay Album Will Be Re-issued on Vinyl for 20th Anniversary

Creed Human Clay vinyl — Creed’s Human Clay album will be released as a 2-LP set in honor of the album’s 20th anniversary

Creed’s watershed Human Clay album is celebrating its 20th anniversary; the album, one of the best selling alternative rock albums of all time, will be re-issued as a two-LP set on October 11th. The anniversary release marks the first availability of the album on vinyl since a limited pressing in 1999.

Creed’s sophomore album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, quickly making them one of the biggest bands in the world. It was driven by the anthemic first single, “Higher,” which spent a whopping 57 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at number seven.

In July of the following year, the band scored their first number one hit on the pop charts with the third single from the album, “With Arms Wide Open.” The track, which frontman Scott Stapp wrote when he found out that he was going to be a father, earned the band a GRAMMY Award for Best Rock Song in 2001.

To-date, Human Clay has sold well over 11 million copies in the U.S., earning a rare Diamond certification from the RIAA, joining the ranks of the Beatles’ Abbey Road, Prince‘s Purple Rain and Nirvana’s Nevermind. It remains one of the top-selling albums of all-time in the United States.

Human Clay, the 20th anniversary 2-LP edition, is available for pre-order now.
