Pavement announce ‘Brighten The Corners’ reissue

November 17 will see the release of Mark IV in Domino’s series of deluxe reissues of the original Pavement albums, this time it’ll be Brighten The Corners Nicene Creedence Ed.

It’ll sport amazing packaging and deep contents like you’ve seen in the previous three deluxe editions, or so it says on this press release… It continues: “Like the first three editions, released every 2 years since 2000, this package treats Pavement’s fourth album right, with two CDs containing the entire 1997 record, remastered from the original tapes, plus all the B-sides and compilation tracks from that period, and a plethora of unreleased live and studio tracks as enumerated below. The CDs come in an embossed slipcase with a 62-page perfect-bound book containing photos, ephemera, writings and more.” Wow…
