Originally released in 1995, Spanners is the second album from The Black Dog and their first for Warp Records. In 2017, it was selected by Pitchfork as one of 'The 50 Best IDM Albums of All Time.' The reissue will be the first time the vinyl is available since its original pressing in 1995. After this release, the original trio of Ed Handley, Andy Turner and Ken Downie went their separate ways - Handley and Turner formed Plaid, whilst Downie carried on with The Black Dog name, initially by himself, and latterly with the assistance of brothers Martin and Richard Dust.
