2023 marks the 20th anniversary of Switchfoot's seminal album, The Beautiful Letdown. The triple-platinum record included the chart topping hits, Meant To Live & Dare You To Move, and changed the lives of the band members and a generation the world over. The underdog success story of The Beautiful Letdown exemplifies Switchfoot's iconoclast, grassroots approach- defying the odds of major labels and mainstream media. In fact, just before the album was released, Switchfoot was dropped from Columbia Records. It was only after millions of albums had been sold that the label was forced to support the band that had proved them wrong. To celebrate 20 years of the The Beautiful Letdown, Switchfoot is releasing "their version", a new re-recorded edition of the album, on both CD and LP. The vinyl comes in a deluxe triple gatefold package, including a fold-out poster, available on a variety of vinyl colors.
