Matthew Sweet "Girlfriend" / "BOYFRIEND"

Matthew Sweet "Girlfriend" / "BOYFRIEND"

Reedición de "Girlfriend" (con 3 demos) y un nuevo CD extra titulado "Boyfriend" en Legacy (un subsello de Sony dedicado a reediciones)

The real bonus for fans of Sweet here is Goodfriend, a companion album to Girlfriend that was only distributed as a promotional item back in the day, and now getting its first official release. It's an excellent flip side to Girlfriend - with a mix of songs from the album revisited in acoustic settings, rowdy live versions and BBC sessions. In the live tracks, Sweet and band unleash some thunderous guitar riffs, reinventing the melodies of the more polished Girlfriend songs. There's a couple of excellent covers, a scorching version of Neil Young's "Cortez The Killer" and a take on John Lennon's "Isolation."Recorded in New York City, the LP features inspired performances from an all-star cast of players, including guitarists Robert Quine (Richard Hell & the Voidoids), Richard Lloyd (Television), Greg Leisz (k.d. lang) and Lloyd Cole, drummer Ric Menck (Velvet Crush) and drummer/producer Fred Maher (Scritti Politti, Material).
