Young Marble Giants: Reunion Show And U.S. Reissue


More good news on the domestic reissue front of a quality album that is long overdue, this item being the sole album by Welsh artists Young Marble Giants and the album Colossal Youth. The album will be part of a three-disc set, put out by the great people at Domino Records, who've done a superb job in their handling of seminal stuff from Josef K, The Triffids, and Orange Juice. Not sure if Colossal Youth has ever had a US release on CD before, I seem to recall seeing a CD, probably a EU copy, years ago at a Circuit City , but it had no extra tracks on it, the new one will satisfy the hunger of fans who want their collected works in one place.


So the reunion show is in Wales, I never thought that a US tour would materialize from a group who hadn't played together for over 25 years, the LIVE AT HURRAH DVD is a good enough encapsulation of their minimalist pop live as I expect we should get.
