Sweet just re-released the "deluxe" version of Girlfriend. Being that I am a big fan, I picked this up. What is cool about this release is the second disc called Goodfriend. It is roughly an alternate version of the album containing acoustic versions, BBC sessions, and live versions of nine of the record's 15 songs, rounded out by "Someone to Pull the Trigger," which would show up later on 1993's Altered Beast, covers of Neil Young's "Cortez the Killer" and John Lennon's "Isolation," plus a second version of "Girlfriend."

Anyway, here is a tune off Goodfriend.

Maybe I have my Matthew Sweet chronology all wrong, bt didn't Altered Beast come out before Girlfriend?


Thanks for the link, will check this out.

girlfriend - 1991
