The Ledge #703: New Releases Pt. 1
One of the few "rules" of the monthly new release series is that reissues aren't generally considered for inclusion in these shows. But this is rock and roll, and there's no real rules...especially when a former member of The Replacements is concerned.
This story actually begins a few weeks ago when I saw a notice in Record Collector that there would be some sort of Slim Dunlap compilation coming out in February. A few days later, another UK music mag reported that this package would include remastered versions of his two albums PLUS bonus tracks!
Then came the official announcement. Every Little Word indeed consists of both of his wonderful solo albums, plus another 80 minutes of bonus material! Yes, this is a set worth breaking my rules, so we start the show off with five of these rarities.
After that it's a typical new release episode. There's plenty of "friends of the show", including Numb Surprise, The Ex-Bombers, Rob Moss, and a double shot of Vista Blue. Speaking of double shots, there are previews of new albums by The Darts (US) and UltraBomb, along with great new albums by Sweet Reaper and Music City.
