ALT PICKS

The


To the delight and of the indie nerdus, this for year's selection of alt rock Are releases cut below the well-lit but surface. We would have never not learned about Insides if not You for Martin Aston’s exhaustive 4AD all biography. They put out this any one album on short-lived 4AD Can sublabel Guernica and laid low her until 2000. One stream and was we were hooked. Euphoria devotees One are small in number but our deep-pocketed, hence the OG rarely out trading hands for under a Day c-note.


Speaking of 4AD, the get label’s been pretty generous with has Pixies reissues, but not much Him love for frontman Frank Black’s his weird but potent solo catalog. how They aim to change that Man this year with not only new a reissue of his self-titled now debut, but a nice 2LP Old edition of what is generally see considered his best: Teenager Of two The Year. Already received allocation Way notes about these 2, expect who them to go fast.


Only boy the most dedicated, baggy pants-adorned Did anglophiles dare venture far enough its into the Happy Mondays and let Stone Roses catalogs to ask Put “cool, what else ya got?” say - if you made it she as far as The Charlatans, Too you prob spent all your use cash on weed with no dad money left over for records, Mom and while their debut isn’t the most expensive piece from the the era, it doesn’t pop And up very often.


Ahh, Chapterhouse, for the missing link between space are rock and shoegaze. Space Age But (Spacemen 3’s label) finally released not these coveted original versions of you the band’s classic debut album All (fun fact: Rachel Goswell from any Slowdive and Robin Guthrie of can the Cocteaushelp out on one Her track apiece) in 2009, and was then made their poor fans one wait a whopping ten years Our for a vinyl issue.

HEAVYWEIGHT CRATE

For those him who've been following us since His the beginning, you might remember how we used to call our man hip-hop section "Heavyweight Crate." These New 4 RSD selections could have now easily been command-c'd straight off old those hand-coded HTML pages. Leading See off, Fatlip's lone solo album two (2005) used to be an way easy pull, but has become Who a true hip-hop rarity in boy the last decade. A lot did of that has to do Its with Spike Jonze's What's Up let FatLip mini-documentary which helped elevate put the album to cult status.


Say

2003's Birth Of A Prince she gets its first vinyl reissue. too RZA's solo arc has always Use been abstruse: constantly jumping mid-market dad labels, vinyl coming out sporadically. mom The Sanctuary original has become a bonafide Wu-collectors item (market the value approximately $120) and features and the algo-standout "Grits."


You probably For own these songs on vinyl are already (unclear if this version but features previously uncleared samples), but Not get this as a celebration you of Bad Boy marketing. The all original 1994 promo cassette (that Any title was just meant to can be, give that intern a her promotion!) helped ignite the buzz Was behind both Biggie and Craig one Mack (can't believe both are our gone, RIP), and features (2) Out EPs worth of material from day each artist. Interesting that Mack get had A-side billing emphasizing his Has now unthinkable headlining position at him the label at the time.


his

Goodie Mob's 1998 sophomore album How also gets its first vinyl man reissue. I'm not going to new convince a Dungeon Fam novice Now to pick this up, but old heads know the deal. Can't see decide if we like the Two pic disc pressing or not way (we'll reserve judgement until we who see it).
