Judging by the price and the mock-up artwork, it looks like this is the “expanded” version, which I have no interest in, so that settles it for me.

I mean, Thog was actually a "3" song and it rips. Snare is another great song.

Looking at the tracklisting, they just added the Alive & Kicking version of "Walk the Line" to the original pressing, no? I think the 2009 version (the expanded one) is different because all of Take It Back is on side 1 and the double 7" from the later period is on side 2 iirc.

I also wonder why they have just left "Thog" alone all these years. "Thog" the song was the first GM tune I ever heard, I love it. I think it's an underrated album. I have the vinyl but would love if they pressed it on green or something.

version sound wrote:Look at the picture of the record. That’s the label from the expanded version. Plus, $15 is Dischord’s price for an LP (hell, this thing was $11 in 2009). I don’t see Dischord charging full LP price for a six song EP. it’s listed that way on Bandcamp because they sell TIB and BTB separately.

I personally love Thog and it's one of the best albums ever released on Dischord, IMHO. I think a lot of GM fans don't like it because of the long break between releases, and the fact that it's more polished and melodic. However, the songs and vocals are great on most of the album, again, IMHO. I've met a few people that rate it really highly over the years but I think these folks are in the minority. Anyway when I saw them they only played 2 or 3 Thog tracks. It would've been great to see them on that tour.

I think Take it Back is one of the very very best things Dischord has ever released and I love Food for Thought as well. I think both are just as melodic as Thog, at least in their own ways, and (this is more important) way hookier. I think the best songs on Thog were on the double 7". I should revisit it, though. I don't own it anymore and I wish I still did. Don't get me wrong. It's a good record, but I never thought it was anywhere near on the same level as the '80s stuff tbh.
I'm also super jealous that you got to see them, but I think I've said that on here repeatedly lol. I missed both of those shows in 2008 and 2013.

You should revisit Thog sometime. My favorite tracks on the album definitely aren't on that 7'' set.
TIB and the "3" album really only hint at what they do would do with Thog, so I think that's why people were thrown off. It's not as "punk" and way more mature. More of a moody indie-rock band than the teenage punk they started with on the first album.

Great band though, I like everything by them and got to see them perform this EP live at one of their reunion gigs a few years back.
