Ciccone Youth 'The Whitey Album'
£23.99
Vinyl reissue of quintessential 1988 Top-40 tribute album. Features the classic Burnin Up demo featuring Mike Watt and Greg Ginn.
Latest in Sonic Youth's vinyl reissue series which also features the group's 1982 debut, Thurston Moore's Psychic Heartsand deluxe (to come) & box set editions of Dirty and Goo.
A deluxe vinyl re-release of Ciccone Youth's The Whitey Album, the full-length recorded by Sonic Youth's Top-40 obsessed alter-ego is now available on the band's own Goofin imprint. In 1988, after hinting that a tribute to the Beatles' White Album was in the works, the band about-faced and delivered this brain-sick celebration of pop-culture and The Material Girl in particular.
The album has been spectacularly remastered and manufactured to provide hi-fi reproductions of such favorites as Needle-Gun, MacBeth,Ó and Mike Watt's original demo recording of Burnin Up.

Features 'Death Valley '69' with Lydia Lunch.
EVOL, Sister and Confusion Is Sex reissues will follow this release. Sonic Youth's second full-length LP Bad Moon Rising was originally released on Homestead and Blast First in 1985.
The album is a fascinating examination of 'the junction where hippie idealism [meets] the cold hard world,' says guitarist Lee Ranaldo, 'where Woodstock [meets] Altamont'Death Valley, Charles Manson, Brian Wilson, musicians, murderers, heroes and villains.' Its original eight-song tapestry of droning guitar feedback, distant clattering percussion, and sullen vocals, all held together with interstitial noise loops and shadowy haze, ambles through a long, dark night before the feverish 'Death Valley '69,' driven by runaway guitar riffs and a frantic
Thurston Moore / Lydia Lunch vocal duet, pounds the capstone into place. Sonic Youth's big leap forward from Confusion Is Sex and Kill Yr Idols 'reflects the spirit of the time,' to quote All Music Guide. Bad Moon Rising views 'American gothic through the glassy eyes of wilful moonlit paranoia.'
Back in print on Goofin'Records, this reissue includes bonus tracks 'Flower' and 'Halloween,' both from a 12'single of the same era.
The sound collage morsels 'Satan Is Boring' and 'Echo Canyon' are your cue to begin moving toward the exit and get out while you can.
