THE REMAINS
The Remains – Deluxe Mono Edition
The Remains have always been regarded as the Mount Everest of garage-rock bands, their steaming, fuzzed-up songs copied in every last swaggering detail by legions of cool teenage combos across the nation. This is the first-time-ever reissue of the Remains classic material in MONO with a stunning second LP of single-only sides, plus all the legendary Robin McBride-produced material not included on the original issue. Our lavish, high-definition, double-vinyl, MONO edition of everything you need by the Remains, has been meticulously assembled by Bob Irwin and Remains leader Barry Tashian and features 12 ripping Remains bonus tracks—ncluding one fuzz-raving instrumental from 1966 that no one’s ever heard before!—with essential new liner notes by Remains expert Jeff Jarema.
