A Newbury Comics exclusive color vinyl pressing.

Featuring fan-favorites Air, and Cut Your Ribbon, Wiretap Scars is the critically acclaimed debut album from El Paso’s Sparta. At the time Sparta was Ward, Matt Miller, Paul Hinojos, and Tony Hajjar. The 4 formed Sparta following the break of their former band, the post-hardcore At the Drive-In.

Now, the seminal and now-legendary debut record, lovingly pressed onto vinyl will be made available officially for the first time celebrating its 20th anniversary. Originally released on Dreamworks records in August 2002, it is seeing vinyl release from Canadian Indie powerhouse, Dine Alone Records, who have been releasing new music from both Sparta and Jim Ward since 2020.
