A couple of years back, Factory 25 released the documentary Better Than Something: Jay Reatard in a DVD edition with an LP of rarities. That vinyl now fetches a pretty penny on online retailers, so we're pleased to announce that it's getting repressed.
Listings have the record coming out on June 9. As with the prior edition, this will come with a DVD of the documentary plus a LP-sized 50-page book with photos, essays and an interview with Jay.
Below, see the collection's tracklist. It contains more than a decade's worth of songs from various projects, mostly culled from live shows.
Reatard died in 2010 of cocaine toxicity at the age of 29.
