Posies, The - Amazing Disgrace '1996/2018

Tracks list

 • The Posies’ final Geffen full-length. • Remastered from
original tapes. • 2-CD set expanded with 23 bonus tracks—10
previously unissued. • 2-LP cut at 33 RPM and pressed at R.T.I. We began
our career exactly 30 years prior by releasing a home-recorded cassette called
Failure, which to our complete surprise became an instant favorite around the
Northwest, earning us critical accolades, radio airplay, and major label
interest all in a very short time. We were lucky to find ourselves living just a
few doors down the road in Seattle from Arthur “Rick” Roberts and
Mike Musburger, who agreed to join our band on bass and drums, respectively.
Signed to Geffen Records, we recorded 3 releases, 1990’s Dear 23,
Frosting On The Beater in 1993, and Amazing Disgrace in 1996. These three albums
remain beloved by our fans; our most popular, most often cited, most requested
works. However, over the years, the CDs have been in and out of print, there
have been inconsistent presences on streaming, the LPs either long out of print
or not issued at all depending on the territory. Good news: all that’s
about to change. Amazing Disgrace returns, reissued by Omnivore Recordings (who
have, among many releases new and old, reissued our first album, Failure, plus
releases by Big Star, Game Theory, etc). The album will be released as a double
CD set: one CD containing the original album, remastered from the original
analog tapes, plus enough bonus material to fill out the rest of the CD; and
another full CD of more bonus material. Don’t expect just a repackaging
of material already available on our 2000 boxed set of outtakes—11 of
Amazing Disgrace’s 23 bonus tracks on this reissue have never been heard!
Amazing Disgrace will now stretch across two LPs and will be mastered at 33 RPM
from the original tapes. We made the decision to stick to just the original
albums for the vinyl release, to give it room to breathe across two glorious
slabs of wax. So, if bonus tracks are your thing, the 2-CD set will have you
covered. Catch The Posies on their 30th Anniversary tour in 2018 too!
