Michael Knott on Blonde Vinyl: Three Essential Albums Return (CD & Vinyl)
Pre-orders go live Thursday, February 12 at 7:00 PM CST exclusively at Boone’s Overstock, the official store for Retroactive Records and Limited Run Vinyl.
Three cornerstone releases from the Blonde Vinyl era—each originally released in 1991—return in newly remastered 35th Anniversary editions, available on CD and vinyl. These are curated, collector-grade reissues honoring one of the most creative, honest, and influential voices in Christian alternative music.
Lifesavers – Poplife
35th Anniversary Legends Remastered
Michael Knott’s sun-soaked, surf-pop-punk classic finally gets the deluxe treatment it deserves. Poplife blends West Coast skate energy, indie-rock hooks, and Knott’s unmistakable lyrical voice—playful on the surface, thoughtful underneath. Originally released on Blonde Vinyl Records in 1991, the album captures a moment when faith-based alternative music felt free, weird, and joyful.
This reissue comes to you as a collaboration between Robert Freeman and Retroactive Records (Thank you AGAIN, Robert! We love you!).
Available Formats & Prices
- CD (Legends Remastered) – $15.95 SALE

L.S. Underground – This Is the Healing
35th Anniversary Legends Remastered
Raw, stripped-down, and emotionally fearless, This Is the Healing remains one of the most powerful statements in Michael Knott’s catalog. Built on stark arrangements, drum machines, and deeply human lyrics, the album confronts doubt, grief, love, and faith without easy answers. It’s uncomfortable in all the right ways—and endlessly compelling. This edition includes new original cover artwork created by Michael Knott in 2023.

Michael Knott – Screaming Brittle Siren
Legends Remastered
One of Knott’s most emotionally intense and artistically ambitious works, Screaming Brittle Siren is a towering release that blends alternative rock, art-rock, and deeply personal songwriting. Long unavailable in physical form, this title has finally been brought back for collectors and listeners alike.
