Bob Mould preps ‘Best of 1989-2019′ & 3rd ‘Distortion’ vinyl box set
Bob Mould has announced details of the third part of his Distortion box set series covering his post-Husker Du years. This one covers 2008-2019, and includes District Line (2008), Life and Times (2009), Silver Age (2012), Beauty & Ruin (2014), Patch the Sky (2016) and Sunshine Rock (2019), as well as a bonus disc featuring his collaborations with Foo Fighters and Butch Walker, and his 2019 cover of Buzzcocks’ “I Don’t Mind” (the flipside is etched vinyl). The compilation also comes with a 28-page booklet featuring liner notes by journalist Keith Cameron as well as contributions from J Mascis and Shirley Manson, plus lyrics, photos and and memorabilia. The box set is out April 16 via Demon and you can preorder now.
Also out on April 14 is Distortion: Best of 1989-2019, a 24-track set that includes solo favorites, Sugar, and LoudBomb songs. There’s also a four-CD special edition that digs a little deeper, with the fourth disc being live tracks from throughout the last 30 years. You can check out the tracklists for that below.
You can pick up the second volume of Distortion, covering 1996 – 2007 — that includes the first-ever vinyl pressings of Modulate and the LoudBomb and BLOWOFF albums, plus a signed print — in the BrooklynVegan shop. You can also get Bob’s 2020 album, Blue Hearts in the shop too.
Watch a trailer for Distortion Vol 3 and listen to Bob’s “I Don’t Mind” cover below.
