The Clean's 'Anthology' Gets 4-LP Vinyl Reissue

BY Alex HudsonPublished Apr 30, 2014

Merge Records treated Kiwipop masters the Clean to an Anthology more than a decade ago, and now, as part of the label's 25th anniversary celebrations, it is fitting the CD compilation with a deluxe vinyl reissue.

While the prior edition was made up of two CDs, the newly revealed vinyl package, due out July 15, contains a whopping four LPs. It consists of the debut single "Tally Ho!" (along with a couple of rare single cuts), the EPs Boodle Boodle Boodle (1981) and Great Sounds Great, Good Sounds Good, So-so Sounds So-so, Bad Sounds Bad, Rotten Sounds Rotten (1982), and selections from the full-length albums Vehicle (1989), Modern Rock (1994) and Unknown Country (1996).

The set is available to order here, either with or without a T-shirt. It's also still available on CD or digitally for those who are so inclined.

If you've been meaning to finally lose yourself in the wild and wonderful world of the Clean — or replace your old CD copy — here's your shot.
