Breeders Last Splash 20th anniversary set


Recommended Posts

Details have been announced for LSXX, the 20th anniversary reissue of the Breeders' Platinum album, Last Splash, which will be released April 23, 2013 on 4AD.

LSXX
will be available as a limited-edition, seven-disc vinyl box set, and a
three-CD package.  Many of the recordings included in the set have
never been released before, and for other tracks, it will be the first
time they receive a worldwide release.  Cover and individual sleeve
artwork has been created by renowned British graphic designer Vaughan
Oliver, who described it as "an irreverent conceptual and visual
re-imagining" of his original Last Splash artwork.

The vinyl box set includes:

- a 12-inch vinyl pressing of Last Splash
- four 10-inch EPs - Safari, Cannonball, Divine Hammer, and Head to Toe
-
a 12-inch vinyl live concert album, Stockholm Syndrome, recorded in
Sweden in 1994, during the band's last European tour.  Seven tracks from
this recording originally appeared on a fan-club-only CD; nine
additional unreleased tracks from the concert are included here.
- a
12-inch vinyl record comprised of a BBC radio session recorded July 24,
1993 and available here for the first time, and the original Last Splash demo recordings, made in November, 1992
- a 24-page booklet featuring previously unpublished photographs taken during the recording of Last Splash,
personal photos taken during two years of touring, and reminiscences
written by band members and others, including Kim Gordon and J Mascis.

The CD release is comprised of the same material in a three-disc set.

LSXX
will be available at shops as well as from Amazon.com and other online
retailers.  The release coincides with the Breeders' LSXX World Tour,
which marks the first time Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and

I am normally not into these super fetishy vinyl sets. However, it's 'Last Splash' for heaven's sake and I will be ALL over this, I don't care how much it costs.

I can't believe they managed to exceed my expectations at what the 'LSXX' set would contain. This somehow keeps getting better and better.

UK shops have started to post listings for this. Average is £18.99 for the 3xCD and £79.99 for the vinyl, which will probably translate to around $30-40 and $85-110 for the domestic pressing I would guess. A bit more than I was hoping to spend, but if these are anything like recent 4AD CD box set reissues - This Mortal Coil, Colourbox, etc. - then it will be well worth the investment.

The 4AD shop has this up for pre-order:

http://shopusa.4ad.com/featured-4ad-homepage/lsxx

$23 for the CD - A STEAL - and $90 for the vinyl. A little more than I wanted to spend, but I know I'm gonna end up with it anyways. Also note: the vinyl won't ship until June or July according to the site.

the CD is coming out on 5/14, according to an e-mail I got from 4AD last month. the vinyl was delayed till late June/early July for the infamous "production issues"

 

btw, saw them in Philly on Sunday night and they were fantastic. Kim's voice is definitely not as strong as it once was, but the band was tight and they were having fun.

I was at Philly too and Manhattan the next night - this tour is such a blast, I hope it hits the east coast again when it comes back for the summer/fall festivals.

Managed to pre-order from Amazon.co.uk for £48. It's up to £58 now, but still better than 80 quid. God bless Amazon pre-order price guarantee!
