'''''Crime Slunk Scene''''' is the eighteenth studio album by [[Buckethead]], and the fourth tour-only album. It was originally only sold on his 2006 tour, but was later made available on [[Travis Dickerson]]'s record label [[TDRS music]], until it eventually went out of print. The track "Soothsayer" has become one of Buckethead's more popular songs, and is very frequently played live.

The demand for the album was still very high, and eventually Travis Dickerson attempted a re-pressing of the disc. However, as future projects took up a lot of time, fans were asked to pre-order the re-pressing of ''Crime Slunk Scene'', with no set date for the album's release. When the pre-orders reached a certain amount, the re-pressing was green-lit and released on April 12, 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tdrsmusic.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=TDRS;action=display;num=1170726209;start=45 |title=Travis Dickerson Recording Studio Forum - Index |publisher=Tdrsmusic.com |date= |accessdate=2012-02-10}}</ref> This process was used again for the re-pressing of ''[[A Real Diamond in the Rough]]'' and ''[[Slaughterhouse on the Prairie]]'' in 2009. The album went out of print once again in February 2012, and with no plans of repressing it a third time.

On April 27, 2017, Buckethead announced a vinyl format of this album through his label "Buckethead Pikes"; marking the first time since its inception that the label has released a non-pike album.

The first is a regular vinyl, a second signed and numbered format, and a third limited edition package including the previous, plus a signed photo and poster, a guitar pick, and a sticker.
