Consequence of Sound Wrote:
Bob Mould will soon dig into his Sugar catalogue and knock out some reissues, specifically 1992′s Copper Blue, 1993′s Beaster EP, and 1994′s File Under: Easy Listening. They’re all due out July 24th via Merge and will come fully stocked with deluxe goodies and remastered tracks.
Sugar’s acclaimed full-length, Copper Blue, will be combined with the Beaster EP as a three-CD or a double vinyl set, which will include B-sides and a 1992 recording of the band’s performance at Chicago’s Metro. File Under, on the other hand, will be released as a double CD or a single LP with digital downloads, all of which will include B-sides and a recording of their 1994 gig in Minneapolis. Check out a teaser trailer and the tracklists below.
Following the reissues, Mould will release a new album through Merge this fall.
