.. Anthology 1973-1978
Description:
UK three CD set from the power pop legends containing their classic Black Vinyl Shoes album complete with bonus tracks plus two CDs featuring two rare pre-BVS albums plus additional tracks. First issued in 1977 on the band's own label but not widely available until it was reissued in 1978, Shoes' first album proper, Black Vinyl Shoes, is an absolute classic of US power pop, characterized by gorgeous, Byrds-style chiming guitars, wistful, melancholy melodies and wonderful harmonies. To coincide with the 40th anniversary (ish!) of this landmark record, Cherry Red are proud to present this deluxe edition of Black Vinyl Shoes, reconfigured to present - almost - the complete recordings of the band from their embryonic home demos in 1973 through to tracks laid down on the eve of their deal with Elektra Records in 1979. These include the entire Black Vinyl Shoes album, their privately-pressed 1975 album One In Versailles, the 1975 recordings which were unissued at the time but belatedly presented as Bazooka, two tracks from their mythical 1974 LP Heads Or Tails, their one-off single for Bomp Records and a handful of previously unissued tracks. Coordinated with the original band members, Black Vinyl Shoes boasts lengthy (8,000-word) sleeve-notes by David Wells, remastered sound quality and a sizeable booklet awash with rare images from the period.
"Black Vinyl Shoes Anthology 1973-1978 (3CD Box)" is an essential collection for fans of power pop and rock history, chronicling the formative years of the American band Shoes. This deluxe box set, released by Cherry Red, features three CDs packed with remastered tracks from their early recordings, including material from their iconic debut "Black Vinyl Shoes." Listeners will discover a treasure trove of melodic hooks, jangly guitars, and heartfelt lyrics that defined the band's unique sound during this influential era. The anthology not only showcases rare demos and alternate takes but also provides insight into the creative evolution of one of America's most beloved cult bands.
Shoes emerged in the mid-1970s as pioneers in DIY home recording and became synonymous with catchy melodies and crisp harmonies. Their self-produced albums garnered critical acclaim and influenced generations of musicians within the power pop genre. Notable successes include underground hits like ?Tomorrow Night? and ?Too Late,? which have since become classics among aficionados.
