Dr. Steve Brule Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 WOW OUTAs a second installment of Matador's pre-order program (dubbed "Buy Early, Get Now"), we steam full speed ahead with three fan lavishing Pavement gems: a super rare live show, poster, and a very limited 7". Wow Out is simple. When a customer pre-orders "Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition" from a participating store, they will receive information and a unique code via email to download an entire live Pavement show. On November 7th, customers will receive a super limited 7" with previously unreleased versions of "Blackout" and "Extradition" and a ridiculously awesome poster along with their super enhanced edition of Pavement's classic oeuvre. The DownloadThe download is a show recorded on April 24, 1994 at The Palace in Los Angeles. The set finds the band introducing new songs that eventually made their way on to Wowee. It is a superb recording and according to our exhaustive research, this show is super rare, even among the most ardent of Pavement tape traders and archivists.

Same idea here only it's a 22" x 28" poster with original artwork by Steve Keene. All posters will be folded to ensure easy shipping. The 7"To make sure we're not becoming too digital, lucky customers will also get a "Wow Out"-only 7" with never before released versions of "Black Out" (a-side) and "Extradition" (b-side). According to Stephen, this version of "Black Out" (which is not the album recording) was recorded around the time Crooked Rain came out. It was originally intended for a compilation curated by Thurston Moore, but that never materialized. Matador's vault plunderers found it on a reel of final mixes from the Random Falls sessions in NYC from early 1994. "Extradition" is a version with different vocals and a slightly different mix from the album version. The download will be available to the customer within days of purchase and the 7" will ship with the customer's copy of "Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition".

Sounds great, is there a link to this on the Matador site yet? I haven't been able to find it, and I want to figure out where I can pre-order this from to get this. --Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm going to encourage everyone who is interested in this to go to their local indie record store (or call them) and see if they are particpating in this. This is a great thing from Matador to try and get people going to the local instead of Best Buy or whatever. That said, if you are in an area that doesn't have an awesome indie store: http://www.insound.com/noteworthy/promo.php?p=695 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
street spirit Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 i take it matador doesnt have a list of participating stores then? ...i will also bet that this offer is only available in america-land. booooooo. maybe ill preorder from insound and pay the exchange.

Kicking_Television Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 damn them for making me buy their albums over and over again. that said, i'm still excited Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I know I am in the minority on this, but I have never been able to get into Wowee Zowee. I love Pavement and I would count Slanted as one of my ten favorite albums ever, but WZ just doesn't do it for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love Pavement and I would count Slanted as one of my ten favorite albums ever, but WZ just doesn't do it for me. I doubt you are in the minority. It is my least favorite of their stuff (yeah, I like Terror Twilight better), but considering I only own it on LP, it's only $14.99 for two very full CDs, and all the bonus goodies, I'm more than happy to take a chance. That's another thing, how come those major label 2 disc deluxe reissues cost at least $32.99 (like Matthew Sweet Girlfriend, among many others) and Matador gives the same treatment for a mere $14.99?

brianjeremy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Is there a listing of participating stores on their site? I hope it their list of Matador Friendly Stores becuse there are two stores here in town. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dr. Steve Brule Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 Most likely that list should be accurate. Any store that orders direct from Matador can participate. Call your favorite and ask, preordering at our store merely consists of having yr name, phone and email written down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Call me crazy, but Wowee Zowee still might be my favorite. Even though it has no flow and a couple of throwaways, it still has least 10 of my favorite Pavement tunes. Really psyched for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In fact, I would place it fourth on my list but it's still a great album. I'm not near as psyched for this one as I was for the S+E one. I am psyched about finally having Painted Soldiers on an album though. I wasn't excited about the CRCR one either, but I got really surprised by the extras on it. I hope this one does the same.

Thanks for the heads up on the pre-order. Just got the email for the download, and this show is UNREAL!!! edit: this is the best sounding Pavement recording i've ever heard, and it's definitely sounds like them at their best...unfortunately, i didn't see them for the first time until '95 also, the actual date of this show was April 21st Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrk Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I haven't even ordered the album but I got the email. Quite strange. However, I did add it to the shopping cart at the insound website, but cancelled the order when I saw the postage costs. The show sounds great, so can't complain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
