Last fall, indie rocker Superchunk returned after a nearly decade away from the studio with the great "Majesty Shredding" album. Now they have a special reissue planned. Read on... Superchunk's 1995 effort Here’s Where the Strings Come In has been out of print for years. In celebration of Record Store Day (this Saturday), it will be released on CD and LP. Remastered by Jason Ward from the original 1/2” reels, the album will be available for the first time on 180-gram vinyl (with download coupon) and on CD newly packaged in LP-style cardboard sleeves. The heavy-duty vinyl jackets were reprinted by the same plant that produced them for the original.
The new and improved version of Here’s Where the Strings Come In will include exclusive acoustic demos of songs from the Strings sessions, as well as a free download of The Clambakes Vol. 5: Cup of Clams. Recorded on October 16, 2003, at the Cat’s Cradle in Carrboro, NC, this live Superchunk performance was edited and mastered by leader Mac McCaughan with additional editing by Brian Paulson.
Mac offers this description of the event: “This show took place as part of the small tour we did in 2003 in support of the Cup of Sand 2-CD singles and rarities compilation. Hence the setlist now appears kind of bizarre as it’s stocked with B-sides we’ve hardly ever played live (“White Noise”) and then-unreleased songs like ‘Knock Knock Knock,’ among more familiar numbers. Sure, there are a few haphazard moves, but it wouldn’t be a clambake otherwise… Hope you enjoy.”
