Necktie Second Deluxe [RSD 2025] (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

Necktie Second was released on Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label in May 1994. This will be the first time the album will be available on vinyl, expanded to include two studio outtakes and five newly recorded stripped-down renditions of fan favorites.
Brendan O'Brien produced and mixed the original titles and studio outtakes, which were mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering directly from the original 1/2” tapes.
Necktie Second received mountains of press and charted at radio upon its release. The year-and-a-half-long touring cycle behind the album included many highlights, including Neil Young’s Bridge School Benefit, an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, and three months opening for Tom Petty.
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.
Now, Droge is returning to the fold after being sidelined for years with chronic fatigue. His forthcoming LP, Fade Away Blue, is slated for release in 2025.
