Street date: October 30, 2026 · Warp Records · 4LP edition listed on Warp’s store
Aphex Twin’s Drukqs (2001) is finally coming back to vinyl. Original pressings have been out of print and expensive on the secondary market for years, which makes this reissue one of the clearer catalog events of the fall. Here’s what’s known, what isn’t, and how to make sure you don’t find out about allocation after it’s gone.
2001 original vs. 2026 reissue
| 2001 original pressing | 2026 reissue (4LP) | |
|---|---|---|
| Availability | Out of print for years; secondary-market prices reflect it | New pressing, widely distributed via Warp |
| What you get | The original artifact — with two decades of wear risk on a used copy | The full 100-minute album on fresh vinyl (mastering details TBC) |
| Who it’s for | Collectors who specifically want a first pressing and will pay for condition | Anyone who wants to actually play Vordhosbn and Avril 14th without babying a $200+ used copy |
| Our take | Only buy graded, with playback notes | The sensible copy — and the one this waitlist is for |
What we don’t know yet
Pressing quantities, variant colors, and US allocation aren’t public. We won’t guess, and we won’t imply scarcity we can’t verify. What we can say: first-time-back-in-print Warp titles have a history of selling through their first pressing, so being early on the list costs nothing and protects you if this one does.
