moodist Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Now here's something I've been waiting to happen for a LONG TIME! Pre-order -- Matador US Store Pre-order -- Matador UK Store "It's the 25th anniversary of Liz Phair’s landmark 'Exile in Guyville' album and to mark it, Matador Records are releasing 'Girly-Sound To Guyville', an extensive limited-edition box set to celebrate the anniversary. The box set contains the first ever official release of the legendary 'Girly-Sound' songs, which have been restored from their original three cassettes and mastered onto vinyl. It also contains a remastered double LP edition of 'Exile In Guyville' and a 44 page book containing an extensive oral history, essays by Liz Phair and journalist Ann Powers, never-before-seen photographs, artwork and ephemera. Originally released in 1993, 'Exile In Guyville' is a seminal album and a feminist landmark. Its legendary status has only grown over the years. It’s continually included in countless lists…Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest albums of all time + 100 best albums of the 90s, Pitchfork’s Top 100 albums of the 90s and so on. Numerous essays and think pieces have been written about it and the number of accolades piled on is endless. Since the release of 'Exile in Guyville', Liz Phair has continued to defy expectation and break barriers. She has released five albums, and is currently working on a new one with Drift favourite Ryan Adams. She has also composed music for television shows and received awards for her trouble. She's also fulfilled a longtime dream to be an author, and she received a two-book deal with Random House. Her first book will be called 'Horror Stories'. which focuses on “heartbreak, motherhood, and everything in between.” Edited March 15, 2018 by moodist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I think I will order the whole damn things. Being nitpicky...but the lettering/font on the cover is off-putting. No, not because it's covering her nipples...get your minds out of the gutter. It just looks a bit cheesy. I do wonder how limited the box set and replicate tapes are.

jhulud Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Carted the whole set (LP box, 3-CD set, 3 tapes) just to see the shipping options. United States Postal Service Media Mail Parcel $8.75 Priority Mail 3-Day $31.20 Priority Mail Express 2-Day $87.45 United Parcel Service Ground $18.33 Next Day Air Saver $125.53 I don't think I'd gamble it with Media Mail. Fuck no. And UPS ground is a 50/50 shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I kinda want the tapes, but I'll probably play them once and then they'd sit in a box. May wait to see if Amazon sells this cheaper. I have the ATO reissue of Exile from 10 years ago, so I can wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cover for this box is really weird. It's terrible. Like bad 90's photoshop. They should've just kept the original font and used that outtake instead. Grabbed the tapes. I reckon they will go quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dawhizz Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Something feels almost wrong about owning Girlysound remastered and on officially released vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyfranciosa Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 This is cool... nice price for a 7 LP set too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Liz & Emily Haines are my guilty pleasures. I have to get something, probably the tapes. AMEX is going to be very happy next month with all the vinyl and cassette charges racking up the past month, and I'm saying 'no' to lots of things I'd normally be caving on :/ Edited March 15, 2018 by drds89 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plarocks Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I want the tapes. (I have the OG Guyville.) But, I don’t want an $18 CD set that I am being “forced” to buy if I just want the tapes.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I have the OG release as well. And the ATO reissue. And I'm going full-on with the box set and tapes. Fuck it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck it. If you don’t mind, please do tell if the “new” mastering sounds better than the original. I have heard the OG sounds better than the ATO press.

To tell you the truth, I am more excited about “Liz Phair” FINALLY getting pressed. I have wanted that on vinyl for over a decade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freverend Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Not interested in all that bonus stuff. Such a box would have been great contains the first three albums plus the Juvenilia EP IMO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
