ABOUT THE ‘ULTIMATE ALTERNATIVE WAVERS’ RSD EXCLUSIVE LP
– 20th anniversary
– First time ever on vinyl
– Old school ‘tip-on’ gatefold jacket with insert
– Remastered from original tapes
– Audiophile pressing w/ lacquers cut by John Golden and vinyl pressed at RTI
– 4,500 pressed on gold wax for Record Store Day; 500 pressed on green wax for Pacific Northwest stores (ID, OR, WA)
Modern Classics Recordings is proud to present for the first time on vinyl Built to Spill‘s debut album Ultimate Alternative Wavers. Showcasing a nod to Sonic Youth and Dinosaur Jr, UAW was recorded at Audio Lab Studios in the band’s hometown of Boise, Idaho, and soon after released on Seattle imprint C/Z Records in 1993. Featuring former Treepeople member Doug Martsch, Caustic Resin’s Brett Netson and drummer Ralf Youtz, the album features total rippers like the 9-minute “Built Too Long Parts 1, 2 & 3”, while the hazy daze of “Nowhere Nothin’ Fuckup” lyrically pays homage to Velvet Underground’s “Oh! Sweet Nuthin”. While it may have been the band’s debut, UAW still remains a special time capsule from one of modern rock’s great bands that’s still going strong after 21 years.
