To celebrate the 10th anniversary of 2002's I Get Wet, Andrew W.K. and Century Media will be releasing a special edition of the album. The new reissue will include the original album, as well as a second disc with live recordings, early demo versions, alternate mixes and other previously unreleased material. The label is also promising a small number of autographed deluxe editions which will contain "something" directly from Andrew; this will include "everything from a lock of his hair to a world tour airplane ticket stub." As double vinyl LP is also planned.

Andrew wrote a brief note about working with Century Media:

Even after all these years, I clearly remember the first day I heard the band Mayhem's album, "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas". Its dark psychedelic sensations made me realize I had found a new destiny - and had found the greatest music ever made. When I turned that seminal Mayhem album over and looked at the fine-print on the back cover, I saw a bold and clear stamp bearing the name CENTURY MEDIA. Another wave of destiny washed over me and a new dream was born: that I, Andrew W.K., would somehow be part of this great label's story of musical power and glory.

The reissue is due out July 17, 2012.
