Caja con tres CDs/cuatro LPs cargados de inéditos de la etapa pre-SST de Hüsker Dü.
Numero Group es un sello especializado en inéditos, pero ni siquiera de él esperábamos el descubrimiento de tal volumen de grabaciones del bául de Hüsker Dü. Todas ellas, la inmensa mayoría inéditas, corresponden a la etapa del grupo comprendida entre 1979 y 1982, antes del fichaje del grupo con SST que tantos problemas les dio y sigue dando hasta hoy en día. Y además de tomas alternativas, demos, singles, pruebas de sonido e incluso ensayos incluye una grabación alternativa de “Land Speed Record” (82), el primer larga duración del grupo, grabado en un concierto del grupo en Minneapolis. Ken Shipley, de Numero Group, explica la razón de esta edición completamente nueva por la mala calidad de la publicada originalmente:
“Al parecer robaron la cinta original a la banda en algún momento. Realmente no hay manera de volver atrás. SST usó una copia multipista y un proceso de mixdown de hace dos o tres generaciones, y la versión CD es aún peor. Encontramos otro set que se hizo en un showcase para Twin/Tone dos semanas después y básicamente habían tocado casi el mismo set. Ellos son aún mejores que dos semanas antes, y la mesa de sonido era mucho mejor. Era simplemente una mejora notable de “Land Speed Record‘, así que dijimos ‘vamos a hacerlo’”.
En total son 69 cortes y casi tres horas de duración, aunque Numero Group manejaba una selección previa de 110 que superaba con mucho ese minutaje. Es decir, que ha habido un filtro y una selección de lo mejor y de las tomas más representativas.
