CD Description
One of the quintessential underground bands of the 1980s, Galaxie 500 were revered (by those fortunate enough to know about them) for their drowsy, atmospheric pop, warm instrumental textures, and Dean Wareham's reedy tenor and surreal lyrics. Fans who purchased the 1996 box set, which includes a disc of unreleased tracks, already own the material on UNCOLLECTED, a single-disc issue of those same cuts. UNCOLLECTED features the band's first demos, as well as outtakes, single tracks, and the video to the song "Blue Thunder".
The band's '60s jangle-rock influences are heard on the songs from their 1987 demo (especially "Walking Song"), and the evolution of their lush, plaintive aesthetic can be traced through 1988's "Oblivious" and "I Can't Believe it's Me". Highlightsinclude a superb version of "Blue Thunder" with saxophone accompaniment from the BLUE THUNDER EP, and live covers of the Beatles and Jonathan Richman. An important, influential band--key to the development of dream pop and slowcore, Galaxie 500 have left fans needing more for years. UNCOLLECTED fulfils that need perfectly.

Superb Extras
The brilliant box set from whence this 'uncollected' CD first came is now high-priced collector's item, so it is great to see that the extra material has now been released separately.
A fine collection of outtakes from all the band's studio sessions and early demo material, B-sides, etc., the `uncollected' CD transcends the often patchy quality of such projects to be the equal of the three main albums and a real joy in its own right. `Cheese and Onions' shows the band has a sense of humour as the Rutles Beales spoof gets the full shimmering guitar treatment. The saxophone-enhanced version of `Blue Thunder' is great and even on the band's demo songs, `Walking Song', `The Other Side' and `On the Floor' their potential shines through.
An absolute must for fans of this unique American guitar band.
