Recording information: 1987 - 1990.

One of the quintessential underground bands of the 1980s, Galaxie 500 were revered (by those fortunate enough to know about them) for their drowsy, atmospheric pop, warm instrumental textures, and Dean Wareham's reedy tenor and surreal lyrics. Fans who purchased the 1996 box set, which includes a disc of unreleased tracks, already own the material on UNCOLLECTED, a single-disc issue of those same cuts. UNCOLLECTED features the band's first demos, as well as outtakes, single tracks, and the video to the song "Blue Thunder."

The band's '60s jangle-rock influences are heard on the songs from their 1987 demo (especially "Walking Song"), and the evolution of their lush, plaintive aesthetic can be traced through 1988's "Oblivious" and "I Can't Believe it's Me." Highlights include a superb version of "Blue Thunder" with saxophone accompaniment from the BLUE THUNDER EP, and live covers of the Beatles and Jonathan Richman. An important, influential band--key to the development of dream pop and slowcore, Galaxie 500 have left fans needing more for years. UNCOLLECTED fulfills that need perfectly.
