 Available
on four LPs or three CDs, SAVAGE YOUNG DÜ compiles 69 tracks - 47 of
them previously unreleased - spanning the Saint Paul, MN-based trio's
formative 1979 live shows to their milestone early releases via SST
Records, including first singles "Statues" b/w "Amusement" (1981) and
"In A Free Land" (1982), as well as 1983's full-length debut album, EVERYTHING FALLS APART, and an alternate recording of 1982's seminal live recording, LAND SPEED RECORD.
Newly remastered from the original analog demos, board tapes, and
session masters, the anthology is accompanied by a hardbound book
highlighted by an epic history of Hüsker Dü,
penned with full participation from founding members Grant Hart, Greg
Norton, and Bob Mould, as well as 40 never-before seen photos, a
remarkable collection of rare flyers, and detailed sessionography.
In addition, a limited edition bonus 7'' will be available with all Numero Group mail orders while supplies last. EXTRA CIRCUS collects five previously unissued songs recorded during the Christmas 1982 sessions that yielded the following year's landmark METAL CIRCUS. Available exclusively as a vinyl 7'', EXTRA CIRCUS comes packaged in the full color sleeve designed by Grant Hart and intended for the original release of METAL CIRCUS.
The announcement of SAVAGE YOUNG DÜ was greeted with wide-ranging media attention, including Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, and NPR Music, which premiered the collection in its entirety via an extensive "First Listen" feature. "It sounds incredible,"
writes NPR's Michaelangelo Matos, "even the cruddiest source material
rings through with maximal volume and clarity...The thrill of SAVAGE
YOUNG DÜ is hearing three young men figuring out how to turn their
dissatisfaction with the world into glorious noise in more-or-less real
time."
Hüsker
Dü is of course among the most influential and iconic bands to rise up
from the hardcore punk underground, marrying Mould and Hart's glorious
songwriting with punishing noise, breakneck tempos, and unstoppable
invention to create what remains a truly original vision of American
music.
"We created this blistering wall of sound," says Bob Mould, "bright white radio static with occasional melody."
"It
was like rolling down a hill aware of the bumps," Grant Hart says, "but
focusing on blowing people's minds and completely wearing out the
audience."
"We didn't know what hardcore was," says Greg Norton. "We just got up there and played real fast and loud."
