The Hard Way In to The Way Out of Easy – a very limited edition one-time pressing featuring remixes of Jeff Parker ETA IVtet's The Way Out Of Easy – is in stores December 12, 2025.
A month before @jeffparkersounds’ The Way Out Of Easy was released in October 2024, IA distributed USB sticks containing the album tracks to record shops around the world, along with an open invitation for anyone interested in reimagining the music to pick one up, get to work, and submit a remix for potential inclusion on this limited edition LP. One month later, the portal was closed, and a whopping 77 remixes had been submitted!
Jeff Parker reviewed all submissions - which came from every corner of the globe – and selected and sequenced the tracklist himself.
The Hard Way In to The Way Out of Easy contains 11 distinct flips by:
