Sonic Youth – Goo Box (4xLP)

Description

2020 repress; expanded reissue. “The Deluxe Edition of Sonic Youth’s 1990 album Goo includes the original eleven track album in super remastered form but what makes it Deluxe? It’s the inclusion of a further nineteen songs that give a behind-the-scenes peak at Goo’s evolution, that’s what! The additional tracks are the band’s original 8-track demos (remixed and remastered); the album outtake ‘Lee #2’ (previously unheard with vocals); rehearsal outtakes ‘Tuff Boyz’ and ‘Isaac’; ‘Can Song’ (a never-before-heard demo of ‘The Bedroom’); the Beach Boys cover ‘I Know There’s an Answer’; ‘Dr. Benway’s House’ (the band’s contribution to William Burroughs’ Dead City Radio); B-sides ‘The Bedroom’ and ‘That’s All I Know Right Now’ (the latter a Neon Boys cover, Richard Hell & Tom Verlaine’s pre-Television group) and finally, the promotion-only ‘Goo Interview’. And just to make it ever more deluxe — a 16-page book is included with an interview-essay by Byron Coley, an essay by Mark Kates, and never-before-seen photos.”
