{"product_id":"guided-by-voices-vampire-on-titus-lp","title":"Guided By Voices - Vampire On Titus LP","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eScat is pleased to announce a new vinyl pressing of the classic Guided By Voices album, \u003cem\u003eVampire On Titus\u003c\/em\u003e. Although there were several different pressings in the 1990s, this is the first since 1998. This edition features a new master cut at Golden, is packaged in a sturdy tip-on jacket, and includes Robert Pollard's original insert, now enlarged to a more readable size. A limited quantity will be available on gold vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in 1993, \u003cem\u003eVampire On Titus\u003c\/em\u003e was not unique at that time in its four-track recording methodology, but it was perhaps the first to garner major media attention. Many minds were blown, and a few were baffled enough to return the album to the store, believing the crude sound meant their copy was defective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album occupies a unique place in the GBV discography. It is a snapshot of a brief time in the band's history, a turning point after having broken up the previous year. It doesn't include any older or last minute material. Although sonically consistent, the songs exhibit tremendous variety, skirting several genres and many moods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lineup is just a trio: Robert Pollard and brother Jimmy Pollard with Tobin Sprout. Although it could be described as one of GBV's \"difficult\" LPs, it has several songs that could've been standouts on \u003cem\u003eBee Thousand\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eAlien Lanes\u003c\/em\u003e. It was their first album that was not self-released. It is an innocent album, unaware of its audience, and fearless to the core as only true outsiders can be. As such, \u003cem\u003eVampire On Titus\u003c\/em\u003e is an essential piece for even the more casual fan of the band. It's also just a damn good album that's held up to repeated listens for a quarter century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scat","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41303549313073,"sku":"vkg1793065633561","price":12.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/8660\/8177\/files\/guided-by-voices---vampire-on-titus-lp_1.jpg?v=1793065641","url":"https:\/\/roofrackbar.shop\/products\/guided-by-voices-vampire-on-titus-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
