$20.00

2x CD in gatefold mini-LP style ecopak with eight page booklet including historic photos and liner notes by the band. Artwork in loving homage to 70s vinyl bootlegs.
Edition of 2000.

Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90 is Galaxie 500’s first release of new archival material in nearly 30 years and is their most comprehensive collection of unreleased and rare archival material ever. Its 24 tracks make up the complete Noise New York studio recordings of the band’s outtakes and non-album tracks. Compiled by the band it traces their career from among their earliest recorded moments in the studio to their last. Including eight never-before-heard studio tracks culled from all the sessions throughout Galaxie’s career, chronologically sequenced along with previously released but rare and long out of print studio material. Uncollected Noise New York ’88-’90 plays like a secret history of the band following the arc of their growth and creative expansion from their career’s beginning to end.

Produced and Engineered by Kramer at Noise New York 1988-1990.

Packaging includes archival images and historical liner notes by the band.
