March 29 street date. Nine urgent Dinosaur Jr. classics performed live in Paris at arguably the band's 1990s peak as a live outfit. Recorded live at Maison de la Radio, Studio 105 on March 2, 1993. Produced in conjunction with the band and INA, France.
August 16 street date. When Dinosaur Jr. reunited, more than 20 years after their formation and legendary dissolution, the worry was that these guys were just flogging the back catalogue, taking the old show on the road as a marketing gimmick. But the 2007 release of "Beyond" gave a hearty Marshall-driven "F**K YOU!" answer to those inquiring ears. And then came "Farm", the 9th full-length record by the original line-up: J Mascis, Lou Barlow, and Murph. If "Beyond" was Dinosaur Jr.'s return to form, "Farm" was proof that Dinosaur Jr. could (and still do, to this day!) deliver timeless, exhilarating rock music. "Farm" encompasses Dinosaur Jr.'s signature palette: soaring and distorted guitar, unshakable hooks, honey-rich melodies. At times wholly 70s guitar-epic, at times perfect for sitting by a babbling brook with Joni and Neil, these songs get into your head and stay there, bouncing happily around. This expanded deluxe edition of "Farm" features four songs never pressed to vinyl and never given worldwide release: "Houses", "Whenever You're Ready" (The Zombies cover), "Creepies" (Instrumental), and "Show".
