This week’s new releases include expanded CD reissues of Pulp’s first three albums, a brand-new studio album from Magazine’s Barry Adamson and vinyl reissues of The Flaming Lips’ first five Warner Bros. albums, previously compiled in the ‘Heady Nuggs’ box set.
Bob Mould will perform Sugar’s 1992 debut ‘Copper Blue’ in its entirety for the first time ever at San Francisco’s Noise Pop festival next month, marking the 20th anniversary of both the album and the music fest in what is expected to be the first of a “very limited” number of live performances of the record this year.
Dinosaur Jr will perform its third album — 1988′s ‘Bug,’ featuring the band’s break-out single ‘Freak Scene’ — in its entirety next summer at a Don’t Look Back concert in London headlined by The Flaming Lips, who will perform their 1999 classic ‘The Soft Bulletin.’
