Capturing all sides of such a polymathic outfit is a tall task, but this doublealbum set composed of 18 tracks that have never appeared on LP anywhere comes pretty damn close, covering the years 1975 to 1988 with a blend of rare live cuts, demos, and album outtakes. Some of the rarest tracks on the album are three demos for songs the band submitted for the 1984 comedy film Teachers, and the last track is a spoken word intro from avowed B C fan Stephen King for Astronomy,” a song from the long-gestating Imaginos project. The two records are pressed on translucent blue vinyl, and housed inside a gatefold jacket festooned with photos from the Columbia label archives and featuring an essay by Scott Schinder drawn from interviews with Eric Bloom and Buck Dharma. For this special Record Store Day 2018 release, we’ve enclosed a “Golden Ticket”: 100 out of the 2000 copies we’re pressing up include a randomly inserted vintage B C press photo signed by Mr. Bloom and Mr. Dharma!
