+ info poster, LG Newsletter, Thanx insert. 1500 made, first 500 on colored vinyl.

Three EP box set with mostly LoFi or noisy punk: Happy Flowers (annoying, amateurish noise punk like on their other releases), Unrest (two nice songs in the vein of their early LPs, intelligent indie rock), Sebadoh (six songs in the usual Sebadoh style, beautiful lo-fi stuff), King Missile (guitar pop with bizarre lyrics, OK), Mystery Tramps (lo-fi punk, like a blend of Sebadoh and Masters of the Obvious), Spook (more lo-fi, but rather boring). 2 great bands, 2 good bands. [7]  

Dreierbox mit Happy Flowers (nerviger und dilettantischer Lärmpunk), Unrest (zwei schöne Songs im Stil der frühen LPs, intelligenter Indie-Gitarrensound), Sebadoh (gleich sechs Tracks im üblichen Stil, schrubbelig-schöner Kellersound, gut), King Missile (ganz netter Gitarren-Pop-Song mit bizarrem Text), Mystery Tramps (noch mehr Lo-Fi, aber auch ganz nett, zwischen Sebadoh und Masters of the Obvious), Spook (und wieder Lo-Fi, schrubbelig, aber ohne den gewissen magischen Irrsinn). Unrest und Sebadoh sind Grund genug, sich diese Box zuzulegen, King Missile und Mystery Tramps nimmt man gerne mit.

Tracks: Happy Flowers - make the cat stop talking / so what // Unrest - headringer / the hill part 2 /// Sebadoh - jaundice / design / dance / cyster / powerbroker / lorax // King Missile (Dog Fly Religion) - if only /// The Mystery Tramps - the trip // Spook and the Zombies - beach / youth
