Out on April 23rd (2 days before me bday) is the reissue of one of the best albums of the 90's, mostly only known for the humming/bass riff intro of it's one commercially successful single. Those who were curious enough to delve deeper found a treasure trove of art grunge wonderment, perplexing instrumentals, fine fine pop mess, and still the slowest song ever to be recorded, and realized that "Cannonball" was probably the lowest common denominator among them.
The vinyl box set includes:
- a 12-inch vinyl pressing of Last Splash
- four 10-inch EPs - Safari, Cannonball, Divine Hammer, and Head to Toe
- a 12-inch vinyl live concert album, Stockholm Syndrome, recorded in Sweden in 1994, during the band's last European tour. Seven tracks from this recording originally appeared on a fan-club-only CD; nine additional unreleased tracks from the concert are included here.
- a 12-inch vinyl record comprised of a BBC radio session recorded July 24, 1993 and available here for the first time, and the original Last Splash demo recordings, made in November, 1992
- a 24-page booklet featuring previously unpublished photographs taken during the recording of Last Splash, personal photos taken during two years of touring, and reminiscences written by band members and others, including Kim Gordon and J Mascis.
So... yes please.
And you know this was Kim Deal too right?
hope so...
