The five-disc Robyn Hitchcock box set I Wanna Go Backwards is tops on my shopping list for tomorrow. The 5-disc set includes the 80's albums Black Snake Diamond Role, I Often Dream Of Trains, and Eye, as well as two discs of unreleased material, titled While Thatcher Mauled Britain Part 1 & 2. Stereogum features an mp3 of the title track, and Yep Roc is streaming the entire thing.
This week's other reissues include six Black Crowes discs, as well as Johnny Cash's American Recordings and American III. A Led Zeppelin greatest hits album, Mothership is available in a limited edition that includes two CDs and a bonus DVD. It is also streaming this week at AOL (along with the new live Os Mutantes).
Folk singer Vashti Bunyan's Some Things Just Stick in Your Mind: Singles and Demos 1964-1967 is a must-purchase for me along with the new Christine Fellows album, Nevertheless. What are you picking up this week?

Yes, I can finally buy 45:33. Having that unavailable save for a super compressed 128kbps file for a year has not been easy. Upgrade!

Too bad they didn't put a giant nike swoosh on the cover. It would look like my running shoes.

The Efterklang CD is good.

The Ana Egge LAZY DAYS CD has become one of my all time favorites. I picked it up when she was playing at the Living Room this summer. For all you New Yorkers, Ana Egge is playing this Friday at the living room to release LAZY DAYS. http://www.livingroomny.com/
