The Captured Tracks/Flying Nun Records connection is about to give kiwi-pop fans another reason to celebrate, with news that the labels will soon be reissuing a pair of '80s-era platters from the Verlaines.
Arriving December 3 will be represses of the group's 1985 debut LP Hallelujah All the Way Home and the 1987 singles compendium Juvenilia. Each offering has been remastered and includes additional artwork not seen in the original releases.
A press release notes that Hallelujah All the Way Home has been out of print since its initial pressing, and this latest addition comes in a gatefold sleeve that includes the original insert and a poster. The LP followed the band's early singles and apparently features "tales of drunkards and romantics all punctuated by guitar blasts and instrumental flourishes." You can stream the album down below.
Juvenilia, meanwhile, contains the band's earliest tracks ("Angela" and "Crisis After Crisis"), as well as signature track "Death and the Maiden" and more. The tracklisting for the CD and LP editions of the compilation run a little different, with the CD containing extra cuts. You'll likewise find a stream of the collection and all the tracklisting info down below.
