Our 1 issue cover artists Grandaddy are re-releasing their landmark album, The Sophtware Slump. The U.K. release features non-album singles, b-sides, EP tracks and two previously unreleased demos for ‘Beautiful Ground’ and ‘Hewlett’s Daughter‘ and the original intro, discarded before release, of the album's magnum opus 'He's Simple, He's Dumb, He's The Pilot,’—plus what the press release loving refers to as “contemporaneous flotsam.”  Says bandleader Jason Lytle,  “I do love this album..... as I love all of the albums I have made. Although I rarely (if ever) listen to them..... I do love them. I should just say that I never could have predicted the places it would go and the places it would end up taking us. All of the people it affected and the doors it opened for us..... It really has been astounding!”

Currently, there are no plans for a U.S. release.
