Sidenote: I read your message while listening Matthew Sweet "Girlfriend" LP - pouring more salt in those wounds!
Almost bought a '92 CD copy for like $2 at an antique mall the other day, but it was really scratched up; used to have it and had the deluxe at one point, too; is there a good-sounding Lp version? scannest can probably weigh in here. Great album. And great playlist, Greg. The Redd Kross song was a particular highlight for me. I really need to reassess Born Innocent. And the Melvins -> Quicksand transition was seamless; you are a natural DJ.
Thanks again!
I saw that they are actually reissuing "Girlfriend", "Altered Beast" and "100% Fun" this summer as double LP's with extra stuff.
Judging by the description above, I wonder if that's a vinyl reissue of the mid-'00s deluxe of Girlfriend. I just hope they don't use the same sources and go straight to the OG tapes. I don't have that set anymore, but those discs are brickwalled to shit iirc and my research seems to support that claim.
I also did some research on vinyl versions of this album and the 2019 Intervention reissue seems like the one to get. I wish I'd grabbed it, but regardless I hope that these new versions use the same sources and are done with the same care.
Altered Beast - I hope this is gonna be a straight reissue of this.
