Galaxie 500 rerelease albums

Rerelease fever, and late 80s fever, continues with the announcement that Domino will be sending out double CD editions of ‘Today’, ‘This Is Our Music’ and ’On Fire’ by Boston dream pop band Galaxie 500 (1987-1991). ‘Today’ features ‘Uncollected’ (rarities from the band’s entier career, from pre-’Today’ demos to out-takes from the last recording sessions), ‘On Fire’ comes with all collected ‘Peel Sessions’ and ‘This Is Our Music’ comes complete with ‘Copenhagen’, a live recording of the band’s last ever European show. Happily, the albums are also available on heavy-weight vinyl. Full tracklisting after a Peel Session of Flowers.
