A defining album of the 90s, Last Splash by The Breeders turns 30 this year. To celebrate, the band have returned to the original tapes to give it its first-ever remaster, and by doing so have also unearthed two lost tracks that will delight fans. Recorded by the โclassicโ Breeders line-up of Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson and featuring singles โCannonballโ and โDivine Hammerโ, Last Splash was โan alt-rock classicโ (Pitchforkโs Top 100 Records of 1990s) on release; a fast seller too, quickly attaining Platinum status in the US. Despite having had the boxset treatment on its 20th birthday, the album was still left to be remastered so 10 years on, the original ยฝโ tapes were taken out of the archives and have been lovingly worked on by Kim Deal, Benjamin Mumphrey and Miles Showell (Abbey Road). Never sounding so good, the album for its 30th anniversary, itโs getting the ultimate vinyl pressing. Entitled Last Splash (the 30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition), this new version has been cut at half speed at Abbey Road by Miles Showell, now spanning two LPs and running at 45rpm. This edition contains an exclusive, one-sided etched 12โ which features two previously unreleased tracks โ โGo Man Goโ and โDivine Mascisโ (โGo Man Goโ is a track that Kim co-wrote with Black Francis while โDivine Mascisโ is a different version of โDivine Hammerโ with Dinosaur Jr.โs J Mascis on lead vocals). Both tracks originate from the original sessions and were left forgotten until the sessions were exhumed to create this new master. The attention to detail continues to the albumโs art, which equally celebrates Vaughan Oliverโs iconic sleeve. With Vaughan sadly no longer with us, his long-time design partner Chris Bigg has gloriously reimagined the albumโs sleeve for this new version. A1. New Year 2023 Remaster A2.
