Although these reissues are not Yep Roc releases, Senator Recordings is letting Yep Roc offer a pre-order for them on store for a limited time only. Orders must be placed by July 26. These albums should be arriving in the Yep Roc warehouse in early August and should ship by mid-August - at least that’s the plan.
Senator Recordings is proud to present these late ‘90s/early 2000s collected works from Scott McCaughey and his several many cohorts, for the first time on vinyl, and including unreleased songs and versions.
The Young Fresh Fellows have revisited their Because We Hate You period from 2001 and have unearthed a second LP of mostly unreleased out-takes, entitled quite appropriately as For Those Nauseous Times. Thrill to the original (cheaper) mixes of “For The Love Of A Girl” and the Boyce & Hart classic “I Wonder What She’s Doing Tonight!” Shout along with the Gunsharp’ners punk anthem “Your Truth Our Lies!” Feel your skin crawl to unheard gems like “Maggot Farm" and “It’s Been A Very Good Year,” and finally, the sensitive sequel to a YFF classic “Amy Grant’s (slight) Revenge.”
The Minus 5 now presents the Let The War Against Music Begin sessions all in one place, in a healthy double vinyl packet. It includes the unedited versions of “Great News Around You” and “Get You!,” an edited and alternate version of “Your Day Will Come” (featuring alternate musings by Robyn Hitchcock), and the original recording of “Dear Employer” as “The Reason I Quit!” These sessions feature the valued partnership of Peter Buck, plus essential contributions from Ken Stringfellow & Jon Auer (Posies), Barrett Martin (Screaming Trees, Tuatara), Jeff Tweedy (Wilco), Morgan Fisher (Mott The Hoople), Dennis Diken (Smithereens), Jason Finn (Presidents of USA), Rob Allum & Sean O’Hagan (High Llamas), Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Kid Krupa (Revillos) and many more!
These 20-year anniversary issues will summon all the halcyon memories of the innocent pre-Sept. 11 world of endless possibilities. They are limited to 500 copies each. That ought to be enough, right?
These albums should be arriving in the Yep Roc warehouse in early August, and should ship by mid-August.
