“Twice Removed” was the second album by Canadian rock band Sloan, released on Geffen Records in 1994. The album took seven weeks and cost $120,000 to record. More melodic than their previous album, “Smeared”, Geffen gave the record little promotion because it defied the label’s commercially dominant grunge rock style of the time. The band and Geffen parted ways after “Twice Removed’s” release. After the band’s trouble with the label, they took time off from touring and writing and were broken up for a brief period. the album received a deluxe reissue on vinyl. This edition includes another three discs: one containing demo versions of the “Twice Removed” songs; another containing B-sides that were originally intended for the album but left off; and a 7-inch, 45 RPM disc containing songs that, in the words of guitarist Jay Ferguson, “didn’t really fit anywhere else in the package”. The release also includes a 12×12, 32-page colour booklet containing photos, interviews and other stories from the band’s members. The reissue was made available exclusively via the band’s website.
