GUIDED BY VOICES

Beginning in the mid-'80s, Robert Pollard revolutionized indie rock with ever-evolving lo-fi pop created 

by a rotating cast. Inspired equally by jangle pop and arty post-punk, Guided by Voices created 

a series of trebly, hissy indie rock records filled with infectiously brief pop songs that fell somewhere 

between the British Invasion and prog rock. After recording six self-released albums between 1986 and 1992, 

the Dayton, Ohio-based band attracted a handful of fans within the American indie rock underground. 

With the 1994 release of Bee Thousand, the group became an unexpected alternative rock sensation

[Records One to Five are reissues of the first five Guided By Voices LP's:

DEVIL BETWEEN MY TOES, SANDBOX, SELF-INFLICTED AERIAL NOSTALGIA,

SAME PLACE THE FLY GOT SMASHES, PROPELLER.  Record Six contains previously unreleased tracks.]

BOX SET + ALBUM SLEEVES

NOTES: Version of the 6 LP's 'Box' set without ''BOX'' printed on the title sticker.

Besides, this variant sticker is in black & white, has no rim text, the 'electrons' are in different positions and the appearance of the catalog number is also a bit different. As all other versions of this set are titled -and commonly known as- 'Box', so will this one.

Hype sticker on shrink wrap.

At least two label variations exist:

(1) black w/ red text (this version) on which an earlier version of the Scat logo may suggest an earlier pressing.

(2) white inside an orange circle w/ black text

tracklisting

Please, see photos for details

INFOS: Record Six contains previously unreleased tracks:

- K1 & K2 from the intentionally unreleased album 'Learning To Hunt', recorded in 1988

- K3 to K7 from the intentionally unreleased album 'Back To Saturn X Radio Report' (a medley of the album's songs is featured on 1992's Propeller album. The remaining songs from these sessions appear on various 45s and the Suitcase boxed set)

- L1 to L11 recorded in 1992-93 and L12 in the mid 80s. During 1993, five or six different versions of Bee Thousand were considered or assembled. Each version but the last contained some new material and by the time the final version was edited, around 60 songs had been submitted for inclusion on the LP at one point or another. These twelve tracks, then, represent the best of those unissued recordings.
