Favourite track - all

astro-squid Been waiting so long. Great to see the band back together!!!

rec0rder its noise pop! Favorite track: Warm/Crawl- Early Mix.

acmerockets My Forgotten Favorite has always been one of my favorite songs. I've listened to this (new) version over and over and it's made the song so fresh and new to my ears. This mix really lets Sarah's vocals shine, and she doesn't waste the spotlight. Jim's drums also sound sharper. I loved the original because it was so fuzzy and dreamy but after multiple listens I have to give it to the ABBA version! Thanks for releasing this and I'm looking forward to more! Favorite track: My Forgotten Favorite- ABBA Version.

about

In recent months the band has unearthed a massive haul of old analog tapes…multitracks, masters, etc… and will be releasing a series of archival recordings. There are alternate takes, unreleased originals, and a few covers, as well as the previously released mixes. All of the tapes have been meticulously restored and converted to digital formats. In many cases these versions sound far better than what ended up being released back in the day.

Setting the Night on Fire with Rock and Roll kicks off the series. The group hopes you enjoy this first glimpse of our archival and restoration project. This digital EP contains a few alternate versions of early VG songs plus a never before released track that you may find quite shocking. This release will be available for a limited time only, so act now! Operators are standing by.

At least half the proceeds of this release will go to We Are Family DC, a grassroots Washington non-profit that helps isolated seniors with free services, advocacy and companionship.

Dirtbag Transformation: "What is this?" was my first reaction. But what an amazing song. It reminds me a bit of the Pixies in how it pulls together dissonance and then resolves. malfunction54
