“Some of you are still possessed of the thoroughly old fashioned idea that songs with words demanding to be listened to are a bad thing. I suggest you purchase this album and get cured quick. Try not to resist.”

 

- Melody Maker

 Rhino gives you even more to love about The Lemonheads' 1992 modern rock masterpiece with IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY (COLLECTOR'S EDITION), a deluxe two-disc CD+DVD reissue. In addition to the original album, this expanded edition features previously unreleased tracks and forty-five minutes of video content.  

 When IT'S A SHAME ABOUT RAY was released in 1992, lead singer Evan Dando's tart, literate alt-pop came together in a way that made it the Boston-based band's major breakthrough. UK music journal NME wrote, “...Dando is at last emphatically his own man - and the results fall barely short of the miraculous.” Rolling Stone has called the disc a, “bubble-grunge classic...a seamless listening experience.”  

 Dando and Mason Williams are the reissue producers for Rhino's COLLECTOR'S EDITION. Audio Disc 1 presents the original album including the signature songs “My Drug Buddy,” “Allison's Starting To Happen,” the title track and The Lemonheads' hit cover of Simon & Garfunkel's “Mrs. Robinson.” A hefty ten bonus tracks include “Shaky Ground” plus nine previously unreleased demos, among them “It's A Shame About Ray,” “My Drug Buddy,” “Confetti” and “Ceiling Fan In My Spoon.” 

 DVD Disc 2, titled “Two Weeks In Australia,” reels out live footage of three songs- “Ride With Me,” “Alison's Starting To Happen” and “It's About Time”-and eight Lemonheads videoclips. It also features candid commentary by Evan Dando on the band and their antics in the land down under.
