brianjeremy Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Article from Pitchfork It would seem lo-fi legends Lou Barlow, Jason Loewenstein, and Eric Gaffney of Sebadoh are on a navel-gazing kick; following last year's deluxe reissue of their seminal III record, they return with a repackaging of sorts for the pre-Loewenstein group's first full-length The Freed Man, due from Domino July 10. Never before treated to a proper CD release (and not to be confused with The Freed Weed, the 1990 release cobbled together from parts of Freed Man and Weed Forestin'-- or "The Freed Pig", for that matter), The Freed Man is a fascinating look at the infancy of the Harmacy boys, and a darn fine listen itself. The reissue boasts a healthy 52 tracks, besting the Homestead Records original's 31 by, uh, math. Sebadoh, trio-style, just wrapped up their reunion tour last week. Of course, we'd be remiss in issuing Lou Barlow news without reminding you of some other Barlow project called Dinosaur Jr., whose totally tubular Beyond drops May 1 from Fat Possum. Dino's impending tour kicks off May 11 in West Hollywood. Good stuff for those who want to know! I've got this on vinyl but would love a cd version. They did a real good job with III. They're gonna reissue all of Sebadoh's albums except for "The" album over the next few years. I love Bakesale, so I can't wait for it.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nutop Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Can't wait for the Bakesale reissue. Definitely one of the best albums to come out in the 90s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
