Another great week for repressings.
Slint’s 1991 album,
Spiderland is remastered from the original analog master tapes by Bob Weston and pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Amazing editions on CD and LP, they include a download coupon for 14 outtakes & demos personal selected by Slint and 'Breadcrumb Trail', a brand new, never-before-seen, 90 minute DVD documentary about Slint and the making of Spiderland, They even include a foreword by Will Oldham.... amazing stuff.
The latest batch of
Blue Note Recordings arrived, you can see those
here - this batch featured
Bobby Hutcherson,
Lee Morgan,
Jimmy Smith and
Dexter Godron.
'Les Fleurs' is a very well-chosen anthology spanning
Minnie Ripperton's most creative and musically satisfying decade from the late sixties onwards.
'Daydream Nation' was
Sonic Youth’s sixth full-length, their first double-LP, and their last for an indie label before signing with Geffen. Widely considered to be their watershed moment, the album catapulted them into the mainstream and proved that indie bands could enjoy wide commercial success without compromising their artistic vision. Great pressing this.
'Beautiful Freak' is the debut studio album from Eels. It's been out of print for YEARS.
Lastly, N*E*R*D's debut album
'In Search Of...' is back on double white wax.
