« Jimi Hendrix: Band Of Gypsys (A Tribute To Buddy Miles) | Main | Mike Smith, singer of Dave Clark Five, RIP »

It's a shame about raisins? Naw, 'It's A Shame About Ray' is gettin' reissued (with loads of bonuses)

060830_lemonheads When I was but a spotty nipper tryin' to let on like I was cool or sumfing, I would hang around the girls who best suited these needs. This essentially meant asking people if they "preferred vinyl". Dolt. Anyway, as a result of this, I met quite a few fans of The Lemonheads and, more importantly, had quite a few compilation tapes done for me... any that were an aid to romance ALWAYS featured My Drug Buddy. I don't know why that is... but it stands. So, my old sonic drug fug friends of yore, dig this... The Lemonheads' 'It's A Shame About Ray' has been given the collector's edition treatment ahead of a reissue next month.

The new Rhino remastered version of the band's break through album features nine previously unreleased demos that frontman Evan Dando recorded in 1991, including early renditions of album tracks “Confetti”, “Rockin Stroll” and “Hannah & Gabi” plus “Bit Part”, which includes vocals from Hatfield. The bonus DVD also features the music promo videos and live performances that featured on the 1993 video 'Two Weeks In Australia.' The CD/DVD collector's edition will be available on March 31 through Rhino. Read over for tracklistings of CDs and DVDs.

The full CD track listing is:

“Rockin’ Stroll”
“Confetti”
“It’s A Shame About Ray”
“Rudderless”
“My Drug Buddy”
“The Turnpike Down”
“Bit Part”
“Alison’s Starting To Happen”
“Hannah & Gabi”
“Kitchen”
“Ceiling Fan In My Spoon”
“Frank Mills”
“Mrs. Robinson”
