I just saw that Jim Mac Phersons been playing drums with them. I really love his drumming, plus he played on that great cover of Shocker in Gloomtown when he was in The Breeders.

hey speedy, how about you illegally copy and/or reproduce the album on a cd burner and that way i can STEAL it, instead of purchasing it? |

I started with UTBUTS, then got Alien Lanes, then got Mag Earwhig! the day it came out. There are many "phases" to GBV. The 'box' that Brian is talking about is their first phase. The early years. Bob's voice is a little different (he sings without the faux-british accent most of the time) and most of the records were self-released. There are some gems in that box to be sure, but I went there last, after all the other stuff. I'd say go for ME! and check out their first steps big steps toward a more arena rock sound.
Here's a link to an extra song off the Japanese release of Mag Earwhig! http://www.gbv.com/sounds/FunCityGirls.mp3
Here's a press release detailing Mag Earwhig!:
The first GBV album by their new lineup, which consists of leaders Robert Pollard and Tobin Sprout, backed by the entire lineup of Cobra Verde. This is a conceptual rock opera inspired by the Who's Tommy, the Pretty Things' S.F. Sorrow, Genesis' The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and the Edgar Broughton Band's Wasa Wasa. Pollard is the main character in this sprawling narrative, an insectile cartoon figure named the Magnificent Earwhig, who interacts with a wild cast of characters in songs evoking nostalgiac memories of an Ohio boyhood, starting one's first band, and inhaling American roadside pop culture. "Despite the progressive conceptual 70's mindset informing this project, the record is still a collection of beautifully twisted pop songs and can be listened to as either an opera or just a series of rock arias."

where i started, and what i recommend highly, is getting the scat records produced 'box' set that collects their first 4 albums and a disc of rairities.

40 bucks for 5 discs isn't bad at all
