The Go-Betweens / G Stands for Go-Betweens limited box set
Domino Record’s sold out Go-Betweens deluxe box set, G Stands For Go-Betweens, is now available via a number of Amazon stores.
The limited edition release will never be repressed and the anthology captures Aussie indie rock band’s output from 1978 through 1984 via four vinyl albums and four CDs (featuring different content – see full track listing below).
The set also comes with a 112-page book (with extensive notes from Robert Forster and archival photographs) and a silkscreen of their first promotional poster for their debut single, Lee Remick, as well as a reproduction of their very first press release. You do also get 24 bit-WAV or 320 kbps downloads of the remastered LPs.
Domino mention on their website that a “a very small overrun” may be made available to a few select retail outlets at a later date, and that is exactly what this is, so it seems as if this could be the last opportunity to grab a set before they’re gone for good and command high prices on the used market.
G Stands For Go-Betweens is released on 3 February across various Amazon sites.
