The Good Earth was rereleased by Bar/None Records (US and Canada) and Domino Records (Rest of the World) on September 8th, 2009
The second recording came some six years later co-produced by Glenn Mercer and Bill Million together with REM's Peter Buck (a Feelies admirer since his days as a record store clerk). The Good Earth was an early release on Coyote Records, the label founded and run by Steve Fallon, also the original owner of famed Hoboken indie rock mecca, Maxwell's. This album introduced the lineup that continues to this day.
The rereleased album features deluxe packaging (CD and vinyl LP) with liner notes by Jim Sullivan. The album has been remastered by Andreas Meyer at Tangerine Mastering from the best available sources and it includes the original 10 tracks as well as 3 bonus tracks. As the band considers each album to be a discrete aesthetic artifact, the bonus material (including demos, b-sides, EP tracks and some new live recordings from the reunited group) are included on digital download cards.
