Superchunk-Cup Of Sand

Another collection of B-sides, covers, compilation tracks and other odds and ends. This covers the period from 1992 to 2002. Another one I had on CD. This is a limited edition of 1000 from Record Store Day 2017. 24 tracks on three records with commentary from band members about each song. They cover a song by Adam Ant and one by The Mice(never heard of them),”Blending In” by a DC hardcore band and Bowie’s “Scary Monsters(And Super Creeps)”. A lot of songs to take in in one sitting but favorites were “The Majestic”, “The Mine Has Been Returned To Its Original Owner”, with Laura Ballance playing some organ, “Fader Rules”, “Never Too Young To Smoke”, “Clover” and “1000 Pounds(Duck Kee Style)” an alternative recording of a song from Come Pick Me Up. After this release it was nearly ten years before a new record came out although they continued to make live appearances and release a few singles.
