Pavement's Brighten the Corners Reissued – Line Up For the Goodies

UPDATE - Buy Early Get Now Information (Click on link above)



At long last my favourite Stephen Malkmus and the boys record gets the deluxe treatment! Pavement’s album, Brighten the Corners: Nicene Creedence Edition is set for release on Matador Records on November 18th, and this one is chock full of 'remixy-rarity' goodness. Pre-ordering said goodness will enroll you in the 'Buy Early Get Now Program' in which you will receive a full stream of the record which started October 10, an extra song October 21, an additional song on November 4, and if that were not enough; On the day of release, savvy Pavement aficionados will be able to add a vinyl copy of the record, a live concert recording from the first Brighten the Corners tour as well as poster to their collections.

Ah Matador you are truly the Bob Barker of record labels.

I hear about this album everywhere I go. Maybe now's a good time to finally listen to it.

I recently got into this album and have no idea why it took me so long to fully listen to it. Now this! Thanks for bringing it to my attention Sean!

You both should really consider the buy early option too. The extra goodies be well worth it! And for such a fine album to boot.

That's me, resusitating the record industry one person at a time.

Thanks for stopping by.
