Matthew Sweet and Susanna Hoffs: Completely Under The Covers
All three volumes of Susanna Hoffs and Matthew Sweet‘s Under The Covers albums are collected in new four CD and six-LP box sets, both due for release in October.
Hoffs and Sweet have covered 57 acts, including The Beatles, Dylan, Fairport Convention, Neil Young, The Beach Boys, The Who, Grateful Dead, Fleetwood Mac, Carly Simon, The Ramones, The Clash, The Pretenders, The Smiths and Prince. Volume One of Under The Covers was originally issued back in 2006 with the most recent release dating from 2013.
The four-CD clamshell box is a 60-song package, and as well as containing the three albums it also offers on CD 15 of those pesky digital-only bonus tracks. The discs come in card wallets within a clamshell box.
If you vinyl is your format of choice there is also a rather sexy 6LP coloured vinyl box which contains the same audio as the CD box but on 180g blue, yellow and pink vinyl. The records come with printed inner bags and a deluxe rigid slipcase. At the moment, the vinyl set is exclusive to the Official Demon Music Store but the CD box is available on Amazon.
Completely Under The Covers is released on 9 October 2015.
