Idaho noodle-makers Built to Spill will receive the vinyl reissue treatment, as a trio of their albums will dig their way into the black plastic grooves on June 5 courtesy of Warner Brothers Records.

1997's Perfect From Now On, 1999's Keep it Like a Secret and last year's You in Reverse will be released in a limited edition of 2,000 copies each, as 2xLPs.

(Hey, I heard this rumor that if you play You in Reverse in reverse, it tells you how to make a clock out of potatoes.)

This is the first time on vinyl for You in Reverse, though the older two LPs have been remastered since their prior vinyl issues on Up Records. An extra incentive to shill out the extra dough: bonus tracks! Keep it Like a Secret features the b-side "Forget Remember When", while Perfect From Now On adds the previously unreleased "Easy Way".

On June 4, Rykodisc will release You in Reverse in the UK, with the "Conventional Wisdom" single following on June 11.
