A defining album of the 90s, Last Splash by The Breeders turns 30 this year. Recorded by the ‘classic’ Breeders line-up of Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs and Jim Macpherson and featuring the infectiously appealing ‘Cannonball’, Last Splash immediately became an alt-rock classic, achieving platinum status in the US, and is ranked in Pitchfork’s Top 100 Records of the 1990s.
To celebrate this anniversary, the album has been remastered from the original analog tapes.
Contains 2 previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions: ‘Go Man Go’(co-write with Black Francis) & ‘Divine Mascis’ (Divine Hammer with J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. on vocals).
[CD] One-time pressing Japanese CD vinyl replica that uses the original ‘Last Splash’ album art. This sleeve is being printed by Ichikudo in Tokyo and will come with an obi strip, lyric booklet and includes the 2 bonus tracks from the 30th Anniversary Edition.

Matador Records celebrates the 20th anniversary of The New Pornographers’ second full-length, Electric Version (2003), with a limited-edition opaque blue vinyl reissue.
As for the music: no sophomore slumping to be found here. Back then we wrote, “With impossibly huge hooks and an innate understanding of every pop trick in the book, this follow-up to 2000’s breakthrough ‘Mass Romantic’ is the most exciting pop record we’ve heard in a long while.” For once, tastemakers of the day shared our enthusiasm. “The New Pornographers mix the pop purism of the Beach Boys, the power charge of Cheap Trick and the gentle psychedelia of Syd Barrett,” wrote the New York Times, who labelled ‘Electric Version’ “Some of the best pop of the year.”
