Just got this e-mail from Collector's Choice. (Sorry if it's already
been mentioned.)
A proud 'Collectors' Choice Music' exclusive, with notes by Scott
Schinder!
Artist: Sneakers
Release Date: October 9th
Title: Nonsequitur Of Silence
Even as the first sounds of new wave and punk rock were being heard
in New York City in the mid-'70s, the first stirrings of "indie-
rock" and "guitar pop" were occuring in the unlikely locale of
Chapel Hill, North Carolina, where Chris Stamey, Will Rigby and
Mitch Easter were recording arguably the first "low-fi" records ever
in their band the Sneakers. Though heard by few, the reverberations
from these recordings spread everywhere from New York-where Stamey
and Rigby were to form the dB's-to Athens, Georgia-where a band
named R.E.M. hooked up with Easter to record their first two albums-
to just about every college radio station in the land during
the '80s. Now, Stamey and Easter have gone back into the studio to
produce the definitive look at this seminal power pop band,
consisting of tracks from their 1976, Don Dixon-produced EP 'The
Sneakers', their 1978 LP 'In the Red' and their 1992 "reunion"
record, 'Racket', plus three unrelease! d bonus tracks, all (except
the debut EP) remastered and/or remixed for superior sound.
