ragudave Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 Someone did me a favour last year and did me a 2 CD compilation of G B Voices tracks and rarities. I gave it another listen over the weekend and was rather impressed.As GBV are splitting up soon does anyone recommend any particular album by them ? Or I should save up and get one of their boxsets ?FWIW I believe Robert Pollard is going to carry on doing solo material after they split. Who knows he might play solo in Scotland some day supporting The Kitchen Cynics...Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough my 2 vinyl albums were reissued on the same label as Guided By Voices (the label was called Get Happy!).I like the early stuff, and kind of lost interest after Bee Thousand, but I've been told I should have stuck with them.

ghost Posted May 11, 2004 Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I've got Isolation Drills at the moment, it's quite good...But I prefer the older CDs. They were getting too polished for my liking... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ragudave Posted May 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2004 I got Do the Collapse* initially after hearing GBV on Peel and a Matador sampler. But I sold DTC after a few months as it was overproduced / not to my liking. I'll take some GBV out of the library, once I finish my next dub compilation...Dave* DTCollapse review Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
