shipping now!

LP #4 from 1990, the one everyone has been asking for since we began this series! Quite understandably, it’s a damn fine album with key tracks like Drinker’s Peace, Pendulum, Mammoth Cave, and is one of the darkest in the GBV catalog. Exclusive variant is sold out, but we have plenty of black vinyl, and your local store probably has the transparent red edition available (we do not, (this one is just for retail).

Guided By Voices cassettes are back in stock:

Propeller, Vampire on Titus, and Bee Thousand are all back in stock in their native format, the humble cassette.

GUIDED BY VOICES Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia LP

Album number three from 1988 gets the reissue treatment. Self-Inflicted Aerial Nostalgia is for many the point at which GBV really started to sound like GBV. With its combination of abstract slow-burners, pop jewels, and savage rock, Pollard and company deliver the goods here. The usual drill: tip-jackets, DMM mastering, super quiet RTI vinyl. order here.

ELECTRIC EELS Spin Age Blasters 2LP

The electric eels were the first punk band, full stop. They may not have "started" the genre, but they were the first to tick all the boxes. The eels rejected every 1970s rock convention - professionalism, virtuosity, subject matter, image. Dave E.'s caustic vocals, complete with an aggressive lisp and a head full of snot, would become de rigeur a few years after the group disbanded. Meanwhile, the songs' focus on car crashes, suicide, neuroses, and generally hating people were as far out of the mainstream as possible. Continued blurbage & track listing on item page

It’s been several years since any of this material was commonly available. Our mission was to put together the best, most definitive collection ever assembled. Nearly every key track is here in its best version, properly mastered by John Golden, and sequenced with an eye towards both flow between tracks as well as individuation between sides. A true monster of an album. Available on black vinyl or metallic silver wax, order here. An additional variant - clear with black swirls - will be available at finer record shops. Not pictured: 2 sided full color insert.
