Their classic debut, expanded and back on vinyl! The Muffs burst onto the California music scene at the beginning of the 90s, and after a few independent singles and EPs, they were quickly snapped up by Warner Bros. Records. Entering the studio with David Katznelson and Rob Cavallo (who would go on the helm records from Green Day, Goo Goo Dolls, and more), The Muffs roared from speakers across the country in 1993. According to renowned critic Jim DeRogatis, Youd have to reach all the way back to Blondies Plastic Letters to find punkish power pop this endearing. The quartet rips through the albums 16 tracks, ranging from and an Angry Samoans cover, to the college radio smash, Lucky Guy. In addition, alt-rock superstar Jon Spencer (Pussy Galore and his own Blues Explosion) adds some theremin and The Godfather Of Exotica Korla Pandits Hammond Organ makes an appearance. Even the beverage Fruitopia caught the buzz, using the albums Everywhere I Go in a popular television campaign. This expanded reissue, now on double color vinyl contains the classic original album, and adds a whopping 10 bonus tracks making their vinyl debut: a radio remix of Lucky Guy, a version of Everywhere I Go which was only available on the cassette of The Muffs album, and 8 demos from the bands vocalist and lead guitarist, Kim Shattuck. Released with full cooperation from the band, the double-LP contains liner notes from Shattuck and bassist Ronnie Barnett, and features photos and other ephemera from their personal archives. Omnivore Recordings is proud to present this expanded classic on LP. Its time to go back to where it all started. Its time for The Muffs!
