At last, a vinyl edition for one of the
Pavement deluxe reissues, the fourth and most recent
Brighten The Corners: Nicene Creedence Edition. A rather joyous pop explosion after the complications of
Wowee Zowee,
Brighten The Corners received both critical acclaim and commercial success.
This 4-LP Super-Deluxe Limited Edition vinyl box set includes eight extra tracks not on the CD, five of which are previously unreleased and one great unreleased song, “Agony of the Stars.” All in a super-deluxe M-Pak accordion-style box set. The set also includes the material from the CD version: the Remastered original 12-song album, 10 non-album B-sides, 10 outtakes (4 different versions and 6 entirely unreleased songs), and 14 live radio session tracks. The wealth of extra material testifies to the extraordinary creativity of the band in this period.
Also includes a 16-page 12" x 12" full-color booklet, essay by New Yorker critic Alex Ross, and and MP3 coupon.
