Velocity Girl’s Earliest, Hardest To Find Songs Are Finally Getting Collected

If you’ve ever gone looking for Velocity Girl’s earliest singles, you’ll know how scattered and expensive that hunt can get. 1989 to 1992 solves that properly, gathering their formative singles, B sides, split tracks, unreleased recordings, and covers into one remastered collection, taken straight from the original tapes and dressed up with new liner notes and artwork.

This is one of the American bands that helped shape the early nineties shoegaze and indiepop crossover, and this compilation is really the definitive way to hear where that all started, rather than piecing it together across a dozen out of print seven inches.

Slumberland Records are putting it out August 28th on transparent orange vinyl, with a limited white and orange creamsicle edition shared exclusively with Monorail Music in Glasgow. That variant in particular is not going to sit around long.

Preorders are open now direct from Slumberland and Monorail, which is exactly where this kind of purchase should go, straight to the label rather than into a reseller’s pocket down the line. Want to know the second things like this go up for preorder? That’s what our mailing list is for.
