Attention must be paid: I heard "Crash" last night in a public setting for the first time ever, the restaurant we go to after golf. I asked the waitress where their music was coming from--a streaming service, their own mix, etc.--but she never got back to me.

Anyone else willing to rep for "Galore"? It was totally ignored when it came out - no US release, guess it was subsumed by the grunge wave. But it's always been just as vital to me as their first two.

I keep "Lead Me Astray" on my hard drive--love that.

Cool, great to have in one place though most of that has been released in various places.
I wonder if they're planning a follow-up to 2014's excellent "Spin-O-Rama" LP.

As an aside, does this mean that all the old Lazy catalogue is available for reissue? Because there's a chunk of old mbv also on the same label.

I think I'll be getting this. I only have the Lazy compilation and a few singles
koogs - dunno about that - the Primitives' Lazy stuff has been reissued a few times already so that's not a new development

This is one of things my little sister liked but I couldn't be bothered, being in academia and whatnot.
Loving their catalog now...so many things I didn't have time for in the 1990's.
