Josh Joplin Group – Useful Music 25th Anniversary Edition For the first time ever, the album that defined Josh Joplin Group’s career is coming to vinyl. The breakthrough 2000 release that gave the world the unforgettable single Camera One — returns in a stunning 25th Anniversary Edition.

Released at the dawn of a new millennium, Useful Music stood out for its sharp wit, heartfelt lyricism, and timeless melodies. It was the record that took Josh Joplin Group from indie clubs to the national stage, landing them on charts and late-night TV, and cementing their place in the early-2000s alt-rock landscape.

Now, 25 years later, Useful Music sounds more vital than ever. This anniversary release has been carefully remastered and pressed on high-quality vinyl for the very first time. Fans old and new can finally experience the warmth, depth, and immediacy of these songs in their most authentic form — from the jangling guitars and wry storytelling of Camera One to the soaring anthems and quiet, intimate moments that made the album a cult favorite.

This special edition isn’t just about nostalgia — it’s about rediscovery. Whether you wore out your CD copy back in 2000, or you’re hearing Josh Joplin Group for the first time, this pressing is a chance to fall in love all over again with a record that remains as clever, poignant, and relevant as the day it was released.
