Crime Slunk Scene is the eighteenth studio album by Buckethead, and his 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" (dedicated to Buckethead's late aunt) has become one of his more popular songs, and is very frequently played live.

The demand for the album remained 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.[2] 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. This version excludes the final two tracks ("Mecha Gigan" and "Slunk Parade AKA Freaks in the Back") and is offered in three editions. 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. The vinyl reissue is slated for release on August 1.[3]

Notes

  • "King James" is dedicated to basketball player LeBron James. The song was made available for free download along with the songs "LeBron" and "LeBron's Hammer" from the 2009 album Slaughterhouse on the Prairie, in honor of James' 24th birthday.[4]
  • "Gory Head Stump 2006: The Pageant of the Slunks" is a re-recorded and extended version of the song "Hook and Pole Gang" from the album Bucketheadland.
  • "Soothsayer (Dedicated to Aunt Suzie)" is available as part of a downloadable track pack for the game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock on the 24th of July. It is also played very frequently in Buckethead's concerts.
  • A rare image of Buckethead can be seen on the disc.
