June 21 street date. "The Return Of Tomorrow" is Fu Manchu's first new album in 6 years, and they made sure that it was worth the wait.

The first LP features 7 songs in their iconic heavy fuzz sound while the second LP sees the band mellowing out with 6 slower tempo jams. Both LPs are 45RPM for the thickest possible sound. CD listeners need not worry, as this version of the album was mastered specifically for the format.
