It's pretty goddamn glorious. I've been playing it a lot, luxuriating in the Xmas morning feeling of having a new Sonic Youth product to look at and listen to. I did the same thing with Smart Bar. It takes me back.
I'd rather have something like this than more vinyl reissues of albums with no bonus material. I mean, yeah, reissues of Murray Street-Rather Ripped are cool and all, but I don't need more copies of albums I've owned and loved for 10-15 years.
Spinhead is glorious though. Not in the way a proper SY album is, but in a strange, almost eerie time capsule way. I just love it.
