Dirty

Sonic Youth's landmark 1992 album Dirty was re-released in a double-CD deluxe edition package by Universal Records in April, making it part of a series that includes classic albums by Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, and The Who. The corresponding quadruple-LP box set on the band's own Goofin' Records imprint includes: the original 15 album tracks; nearly two dozen bonus tracks culled from B-sides, outtakes, and rehearsal tapes from the period; an eye-watering trove of full-color artwork; and essays from Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and journalist/co-conspirator Byron Coley. The band's eighth official album, Dirty reflects the influence of touring partners such as Mudhoney and Nirvana; indeed, the team behind Nevermind - producer Butch Vig and mixer Andy Wallace - helped to craft an explosive, intense yet melodic rock album which would become arguably the band's most commercially and critically successful work to date. ---------- Disc 1 1. 100% 2.
