Originally released in May 1994 on Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label, Necktie Second (Deluxe) has been expanded to include studio outtakes and five newly recorded stripped-down renditions of fan favorites, all on translucent vinyl in a gatefold jacket. 

The legendary Brendan O'Brien produced and mixed the original titles and studio outtakes. The deluxe reissue was remastered and cut by the equally legendary Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering. The cover image is an alternate photo from the original shoot by renowned Seattle photographer Lance Mercer.

Necktie Second received mountains of press and charted at radio upon its release and new generations of fans continue to discover the album’s hit single “If You Don’t Love Me” thanks to its choice placement in the now-classic comedy Dumb and Dumber.
