Artist: Hüsker Dü
Title: Statues/Amusement **out of print**
Format: 7" (45 RPM)
Label: Reflex Records
Catalog Number: Reflex A
Date Recorded: Aug 1980
27 Oct 1980*
Location: Blackberry Way Studios, Minneapolis
Duffy's, Minneapolis*
Release Date: 23 Jan 1981
Notes: Highly collectible and priced accordingly. 2500 copies
pressed. Artwork by Grant Hart. An article in the
Sep 1992 Record Collector identifies this as "Reflex
38285," asserts that only 1000 were pressed and
mentions a lyric sheet insert. The "Amusement" side
was recorded live by Terry Katzman.
Release date as cited by Bob Mould during an 11 Dec
1982 interview on KFAI radio.
For notes on the recording sessions, see the
Blackberry Way Outtakes" entry in the "Demos,
Outtakes, Rehearsals" section.
The band name derives from a children's board game
that was popular in the 60s and 70s.

Title: Land Speed Record
Format: Album
Label: New Alliance Records
Catalog Number: NAR-007
Date Recorded: 15 Aug 1981
Release Date: 17? Jan 1982
Reissues: SST-195/SSTC 195 (12"/cassette, 1987)
SST CD 195 (CD, 1988)
Notes: Original release came with lyric sheet/tour dates
insert and is fairly collectible, but not all that
difficult to find. According to this 1984 Bob Mould
interview, the initial pressing was 6000 copies.
That the record was released in Jan 1982 is well
established. The precise date of the 17th is based
on this reference, the credibility of which is
uncertain. Grant doesn't remember the exact date,
and Bob only narrows it to January in his memoirs.
A second New Alliance pressing featured a cover
printed on lighter stock and no insert sheet.
The third pressing, also on New Alliance (1984?),
bore the additional inscription "Marketed by SST
Records" on the back cover, featured a plastic
rather than paper inner sleeve, and again lacked
the insert.
The 1987 SST reissue wiped the recording date and
New Alliance references from the back cover and
put the SST logo and UPC bars in the vacated space.
The CD version does not have individual track IDs
for the songs, offering instead only two "tracks"
(one for each side of the original album).
See the artwork page for a more detailed visual
presentation highlighting the various differences.

pressed, some of which were reportedly "lost" in
California. Recorded at Blackberry Way, Minneapolis.

Title: Meathouse [or "Meat House"] **out of print**
Format: Cassette compilation
Label: Version Sounds
Catalog Number: Unknown
Date Recorded: Unknown
Release Date: Jul(?) 1982
Notes: Midwest compilation (Xenia OH). Rumored to include
studio versions of four tracks from Land Speed
Record. It seems likely, however, that these
tracks were not included. Katsuhiko Seki writes:
"The Hüsker Dü tracks did not make it on the
Meathouse comp tape from 1982... it was supposed to
be a double tape release, but later became a single
tape release... I don't know if there was a
"Meathouse #2", as the comp that did come out was
titled "Meathouse 1," which contained 26 bands/41
songs...."

Date Recorded: 09 Oct 1982
Release Date: 1982
Notes: Another really tough find, although the 1999 CD
reissue is quite a bit easier. The original
cassette version, however, came with a 16-page

Title: Everything Falls Apart **out of print**
Format: Album (12", 45 RPM)
Label: Reflex Records
Catalog Number: Reflex D
Date Recorded: Jun-Jul 1982
Release Date: Jan 1983
Notes: Earliest pressings, which included a lyric sheet,
are of greatest interest to collectors, but later
pressings without the lyric sheet are also worth
seeking. Rumor has it that the master for this
record has been lost. Two pressings of 5000 each.

Title: Burger Corpse **out of print**
Format: Cassette compilation
Label: L.E.E. Tapes
Catalog Number: None
Date Recorded: Jul 1983
Release Date: 1983
Time: 59:36
Notes: Minneapolis compilation featuring Noble Mice, with
Grant Hart on bass. Some of the bands were recorded
live, others in the studio. Recognizable names
among the contributors include Hypstrz and Ground
Zero, along with more obscure bands like Mr. Slate,
Employees Only (both with excellent tracks). The
rest of the lineup includes Last Generation, Skelter
Helter, Church Picnic, Boy Elroy, Steve McQueen and
the Good Brains, S.I.B., 27 Various, One Happy
Family, and Ra Sewage. Most of the music is in the
hardcore style of the day, but there is psychedelia
from 27 Various and a reggae-ish tune by Steve
McQueen. The artwork for the Noble Mice page in the
accompanying booklet appears to have been done by
Grant. Noble Mice lineup:
Paul Svenska [Osby] -- guitar, vocals
Dale Nelson -- vocals
Billy O'Devlin -- drums
Grant Hart -- bass
The bass player for Mr. Slate was Grant's longtime
friend Paul Harsha (as "Al").

Format: Cassette compilation
Label: Last Rites
Catalog Number: LR 003
Date Recorded: 28 Dec 1982
Release Date: 1984
Notes: Compilation issued by Last Rites fanzine from
McHenry IL. A photocopied sheet of band pictures
came stuffed inside the cassette case and featured
a shot of Bob in action. All songs are from the
Backstage (Tucson AZ) soundboard. When this item
was last seen advertised, asking price was $60--
a risky investment considering how easy it is to
counterfeit.

Title: Bang Zoom #6
Format: Cassette magazine
Label: Bang Zoom
Catalog Number: 6
Date Recorded: 04 Oct 1984
Release Date: 1984
Time: 11:48
Notes: Distributed by Midnight Records, NYC and possibly
others. Interview was conducted at Maxwell's in
Hoboken NJ by resident DJ Guy Ewald after a Hüsker
Dü gig there. As it turned out, his buddy Darren
Viola ended up asking most of the questions. Ewald,
writing in 2013, describes the scene:
"I remember it pretty well in spite of being totally
drunk. I don't know how I met the Bang! guy... he
probably hung out at Maxwell's and knew my name from
my short misadventure writing for The Rocker (at
Glenn Morrow's urging). He asked me if I could
interview Hüsker Dü at their upcoming Maxwell's gig
and I agreed. It didn't occur to me to prepare any
questions, I figured I talked with musicians all the
time so it would come naturally. He was supposed to
come over in the early evening with his tape
recorder, but he didn't show up so I figured I was
off the hook and proceeded to have a blast, going
nuts during Hüsker's set, deejaying, swilling beer
and toasting shots of tequila or whatever.
"Right before 3:00AM closing Mr. Bang showed up and
gave me the tape recorder and... me du husker
interview.
"As often as not [club owner] Steve [Fallon] used to
like to hang out after hours so it wasn't unusual
for some workers and an inner circle to be there
till dawn and beyond. We were sitting at the little
bar in the back room, and like I say, I was really
drunk. I asked a couple of stupid questions and then
my friend Darren came to my rescue and started
asking them about professional wrestling. I don't
know how he knew they were fans, but he was
knowledgeable too.
"That interview was basically conducted by Darren.
He and his wife were the most dependable regular
customers at Maxwell's back then. All I did was
giggle in the background like a fucking idiot. I was
really embarrassed by it and never really listened
to it after spot-checking the tape on the Sunday
after. I remember Mr. Bang told me the interview was
'weird, but interesting.' I was never asked to do
another one."

Title: Zen Arcade
Format: 2x12"/cassette
Label: SST
Catalog Number: SST-027/SSTC 027
Date Recorded: Oct 1983 (except "Standing By The Sea," recorded
during the Metal Circus sessions, Dec 1982)
Release Date: July 1984
Notes: Gatefold sleeve with lyrics printed on inside faces.
Dreams: do they "recur" or "reoccur?" For all vinyl
releases of Zen Arcade, the titles of the two songs
in question are listed as "Dreams Recurring" and
"Recurring Dreams" on the record labels, but as
"Dreams Reoccurring" and "Reoccurring Dreams" on
the album sleeve. For the cassette release, it's
"Recurring" on both the shell and the paper inlay.
For the CD, it's "Reoccurring" on both the disc and
the back inlay of the jewel case (not mentioned in
the front insert, as there are no lyrics). Current
dictionaries accept both words as legit (the word
"reoccur" does not appear at all in the 1970 edition
of the American Heritage Dictionary). Consensus
among modern-day grammarians seems to be that
"reoccur" implies somewhat less regularity than
"recur." In any case. "Reoccur" looks to be the more
common choice in the Hüsker Dü context, so that's
the version that will be used here.

Title: New Day Rising
Format: 12"/cassette
Label: SST
Catalog Number: SST-031/SSTC 031
Date Recorded: Jul 1984
Release Date: 14 Jan 1985
Notes: The original issue came with lyrics printed on the
inner sleeve. The current version has slightly
different cover graphics (space on front between
"Hüsker Dü" and album title is about 3/8" rather
than 3/4", SST address on back is up with the
production credits rather than down on the bottom
beneath the Hüsker Dü address), a different color
label (tan rather than light blue), a UPC block on
the back cover and a plain inner sleeve. There
may be intermediate versions.
That the album was released in Jan 1985 is well
established. Choice of 14 Jan as the actual day is
based on the SST press release that was issued the
following March (a Dec 1984 press release specified
21 Jan, but it's not unreasonable to assume that SST
would have the date nailed down after the fact).

Title: Rec 1979-91
Format: Album [12" vinyl only]
Label: Vince Lombardy High School Records
Catalog Number: VINCE 072 [Germany release]
Date Recorded: 1990*
Release Date: 1992
Credited: Sonny Vincent--vocals, guitar*
Gary Taylor--drums*
Greg Norton--bass*
Paul Smith--guitar*
Notes: Greg played bass with Sonny Vincent's band Shotgun
Rationale for a brief period in 1991, during which
time the band toured Canada for a couple of weeks.
One live track recorded during this tour (probably
in Winnipeg) turned up on this Vincent retrospective
album released on a relatively obscure Hamburg label.
Title above appears on the front cover; on the spine
is inscribed "Sonny Vincent Bootleg," which raises
questions about categorization, but since Vincent
himself contributed to the liner notes and thanked
the producers, it's documented here with the
legitimate releases, rather than with the bootlegs.

(#93) by Cockroach Park. CD is identical in content
to Don't Go Back Quietly -- in fact, the disc itself
is the same for both; only the packaging and title
differ. Since this was a benefit item, it's likely
that more than one organization wanted to claim a
share of the credit. In this case, radio station
93.7 The Edge is named prominently on the front
cover. "Ballad #19" listed as "Ballad No. 19."

discographies for U2 and Nick Cave, but is no longer

with superimposed kiddie-ish drawings (house, face,
heart, stop sign).

Title: Shades Guitars Stripes & Stars
Format: Compilation album (CD5)
Label: Connoisseur Collection
Catalog Number: VSOPCD 225 [UK release]
Date Recorded: Oct 1985-Jan 1986
Release Date: 17 Jun 1996
Time: 50:22
Notes: UK compilation of 80s US indie and almost-indie,
roots-oriented, guitar-centric rock. Includes
tracks by Georgia Satellites, Jason and the
Scorchers, Green on Red, Steve Earle, Smithereens,
Los Lobos, Long Ryders, Hooters, others (Hüskers on
track 3). The theme of the liner notes is that this
sort of rock carried on in the US while music built
around "cheapo synths" displaced it in England. For
some reason, a flood of these turned up on eBay in
early 2005.

Title: Rage: More Of The Songs Most Chosen
By Rage Guest Programmers
Format: Compilation 2xCD
Label: Virgin/EMI/ABC Music
Catalog Number: 7243 5237252 2 [Australia release]
Date Recorded: Aug-Nov 1986
Release Date: 1999
Time: 48:30 (disk 1)
56:59 (disk 2)
Notes: 'rage' was, maybe still is, a television program on
Australia's ABC TV network. The album liner notes
explain that the show first aired in 1987, and in
1990 started inviting guest programmers to choose
and present the 40 (!) videos shown over the course
of the evening. Guests have included most of the
usual indie-rock suspects -- REM, Beck, Elvis
Costello (far too many to list, but no Hüskers).
The resulting "favorites" album is a pretty decent
compilation of indie greatest hits.

Title: Gimme Indie Rock V. 1
Format: Compilation 2xCD
Label: K-tel Records
Catalog Number: 6453-2
Date Recorded: Oct 1983
Release Date: 21 Mar 2000
Time: 48:54 (disk 1)
57:38 (disk 2)
Notes: Hüsker selection is the leadoff track on disk 1:
Someone at K-tel is on the ball.
Quoting from the official K-tel press release:
"Before alternative referred to a genre of music
and Nirvana still signified a state of mind, a
distinct bunch of rowdy young bands criss-crossed
the country in rusty vans. They played in dingy
clubs, slept on the floors of ardent fans, and
rewrote the history of rock and roll. K-tel's
latest breakthrough compilation Gimme Indie Rock
V. 1 recounts their story.
"Hüsker Dü, the Wipers, Pussy Galore, The Minutemen:
these legendary bands passed stealth-like beneath
the commercial radar of the waning '80s. They,
and others like them, built a new infrastructure of
labels, agents, and promoters which supported an
underground network that would rise to occupy
the mainstream for the better part of the '90s."

Notes: This is apparently the work of Warner Special
Projects, with K-tel just handling the marketing.
There's much more "new wave" than on Gimme Indie
Rock, with tracks from INXS, Lets Active, Erasure,
Style Council and the like -- but there are also
selections by the Pixies, Ride, and the Cult.

Release Date: 25 Nov 2003
Time: 65:21
Notes: Newbury Comics 25th anniversary compilation of hits
from the early days. The Hüsker track, given the
honor of anchoring the compilation, is a bit of a
curious choice, as it is neither an early song nor
one that most would consider particularly
representative of their characteristic sound. The
other tracks are more in line with expectation --
"Sonic Reducer," "Blank Generation," "Sheena,"
"Love Will Tear Us Apart," etc.
Liner notes have the following to say about the
band:
"Hüsker Dü represented the best of '80s independent
rock. Along with groups like R.E.M. and the
Replacements Bob Mould, Grant Hart & Greg Norton
designed the blueprint for underground rock success.
Constant touring and college radio success helped
Hüsker Dü expand its fan base from their humble
beginnings in Minnesota to a national level. The
group released their major label debut, Candy Apple
Grey, in 1986 to rave reviews. The unique brand of
punk-pop on songs like "Sorry Somehow" influenced a
generation of bands, from Nirvana to the Pixies and
everyone in between."

Notes: Nicely packaged but pricey ($65 list) compilation of
mostly familiar 80s proto-"alternative" fare, with
heavy emphasis on new wave over punkier stuff. The
Hüsker Dü selection, which appears on disk 1, is
perhaps not the best example to illustrate what made
the band so exciting and influential.

on Body Of Song, due out July 26 on Yep Roc.
Written and recorded mostly over the course of
the past year, Body Of Song is Mould's first
new album length release since 2002, and his
first since the mid-90s to employ a guitar-heavy
full-band approach ("Paralyzed," "Circles") as
well as a few subdued, acoustic-based ballads
("High Fidelity," "Days Of Rain") and some new
twists, such as the electronically treated
vocals riding atop waves of guitar on "(Shine
Your) Light Love Hope."
Guest musicians on Body Of Song include Brendan
Canty (Fugazi), David Barbe (Sugar), Matt Hammon
(1998 Bob Mould Band), and Amy Domingues
(Garland Of Hours).
Body Of Song's release will be followed by a
fall world tour that will see Mould performing
material from all stages of his career-solo,
Sugar, Husker Du-for the first time in a full
band context. Of the above musicians, Canty has
signed on to play drums for the tour.
Body Of Song was produced and mixed by Bob
Mould with engineers Don Zientara (Inner Ear
Studio, Arlington VA), David Barbe (Chase Park
Transduction, Athens GA), Frank Marchand
(Waterford Digital, Pasadena MD), and Mould
himself (Granary NYC, Granary WDC).
"Underneath Days" began life as "Fucked Underneath
Days." Since the lyrics haven't changed, though,
it seems unlikely that the amputation will make the
disk any more welcome at WalMart. "Surveyors And
Cranes" and "My Old Friend" both showed up on early
track listings (just after "Missing You") but were
ultimately shifted to the "extras" disk of the
Deluxe Version.

Release Date: Nov 2005
Time: 56:45
Notes: Miscellaneous live stuff recorded over the years at
First Avenue in Minneapolis. Most of the tracks
come from relatively recent performances; only the
Hüsker and Replacements recordings date to the 80s,
but there's plenty of nice stuff here from the likes
of Richard Thompson, Guided By Voices, Jay Farrar
and others. The Hüsker selection was taken from the
ubiquitous 28 Aug 1985 recording made for the Spin
Radio Concert program.

Notes: Compilation of punk-related artists under contract
to various Warner imprints during the 70s, 80s and
90s... with a few more recent WEA artists slipped
in for blatant promotional purposes. The material
is all pretty familiar (Ramones, Violent Femmes,
Dinosaur Jr, Jesus & Mary Chain, Stooges, B-52s,
Pretenders, etc, etc), so chances are it's stuff
you either already own or don't want. Three jewel
cases, boxed in a cardboard slipcase.

Sleater-Kinney, Lou Reed, Moby, Margaret Cho, Sandra
Bernhard, John Cameron Mitchell. Liner notes
erroneously list "See A Little Light" as the main
Mould track, but in fact it's "If I Can't Change
Your Mind." The Centaur website originally had the
same error, but has since been corrected. Bob also
contributes guitar and backing vocals on John
Cameron Mitchell's rendition of "Two-Headed Boy."

acoustic bass guitar
Craig Taborn--keyboards
Dave King--drums
Time: 45:32
Notes: The following description, which appeared on the
Kudos Records website, looks as if it might be a
press release from Thirsty Ear:
Musical combustion is about to take place. Take
on part of the legendary punk outfit Husker Du
(Greg Norton), mix in the bad-ass jazz sounds
of Bad Plus (Dave King), stir vigorously with
the keyboard mastery of Craig Taborn and add
the spicy seasoning of happy Apples' Erik
Fratzke, and you have the perfect progressive
punk stew: GANG FONT Feat. INTERLOPER.
Rife with intricate and ingenious instrumental
interplay, GANG FONT feat. INTERLOPER is a
recording that is as bombastic as it is
intricate, weaving thumping bass and murderous
drums with schizophrenic guitars and otherworldly
keyboards, creating a frantic vitality that is
rarely heard elsewhere.
This is one for the musicians in the house.
But be careful, because after playing it, they'll
stay in the house to hear it one more time.
Greg Norton was originally the "interloper," but
now seems to be a fully accepted member of the
band, whose somewhat awkward name is variously
rendered as "The Gang Font feat. Interloper,"
"The Gang Font, featuring Interloper," "Gang Font
featuring Interloper," or sometimes simply "Gang
Font." Release date pushed back from 13 Mar 2007
to 03 Apr, then moved up to 27 Mar.
Several song samples are available on the band's
MySpace page.

Notes: Tribute to the late John Clegg ("J.C."), who died
18 Feb 2008. The three tracks on this CD feature
Clegg as guest performer on sax, and were extracted
from various unreleased live recordings. According
to Grant Hart, Clegg was a somewhat eccentric but
much beloved character in the local music scene, and
was particularly fond of playing with the Hüskers—
to the extent that he would likely have happily
accepted membership in the band had it been offered.

Notes: Grant's long-awaited followup to Good News For
Modern Man. From the MVD press release:
Grant Hart's first solo album of the 21st century
is one of the best things he has ever done. The
former Hüsker Dü drummer and co-songwriter worked
with the diverse cast of musicians from Godspeed
You Black Emperor and Silver Mt. Zion on this new
CD, Hot Wax, recorded in Montreal and Minneapolis.
Grant on some of the some of the songs: the song
"Narcissus,Narcissus" is my first attempt at
combining ancient Greek mythology and American
rock-a-billy. By merging those influences with an
ice cream truck atmosphere I think I have found a
style that defines this period of my career.
"You're the Reflection of the Moon on the Water"
is one of the most organic rock and roll songs that
I have ever written. It's style owes a lot to my
devotion for patti smith. It was inspired by a
comment made by a monk during the selection process
to find the next Panchen Lhama, who said of one
candidate, "he is the reflection of the moon on the
water but he is not the moon."
"Wheels" (*) is a rerecorded version of the 1982
Hüsker Dü song from 1982's Everything Falls Apart,
and is available only as an mp3 download (99 cents
at Amazon).

Grant's preliminary liner notes:
DEAR LISTENER,
WHAT YOU ARE HOLDING IS A COLLECTION OF RARITIES
FROM MY CAREER FROM 1988 TO 1995, WITH A COUPLE OF
NEWER SONGS THROWN IN FOR FUN LISTENING. MOSTLY
THEY WERE RECORDED FOR ONE TIME AIRPLAY ON COOL
STATIONS IN EUROPE. SOME WERE RECORDED LIVE AT
CLUBS OR IN THE BROADCAST STUDIO. OTHERS WERE OUT-
TAKES THAT APPEARED ON COMPILATION DISCS OR ON
SINGLES LIMITED TO A FEW HUNDRED COPIES. LISTEN
CLOSELY, YOU MIGHT HEAR YOURSELF IN THE AUDIENCE!
I WROTE THESE SONGS EXCEPT FOR "MASTERS OF WAR" BY
BOB DYLAN AND 'I JUST WANT TO MAKE LOVE TO YOU"
WHICH WILLIE DIXON WROTE. I DON'T COVER A LOT OF
OTHER WRITERS WORK AND IT GIVES ME NO SMALL AMOUNT
OF PRIDE TO INCLUDE THESE GREAT SONGS WITH MINE.
IF I HAVE A SINGLE REGRET ABOUT THIS RECORD IT IS
THE FACT THAT MUCH OF THE INFORMATION HAS BEEN
LOST, NAMES OF PEOPLE NOT WRITTEN DOWN, CALL
LETTERS OF RADIO STATIONS FORGOTTEN. THE WEB SITES
THAT ARE SO HELPFUL NOWADAYS ARE PROBABLY THE BEST
SOURCE FOR INFORMATION DETAILS ON THE HISTORY OF
THESE RECORDINGS. IT IS NOT THAT I DON'T CARE, IT
IS ONLY MY PREOCCUPATION WITH MAKING THE NEXT
RECORDS AS GOOD AS POSSIBLE THAT PREVENTS MY
INCLUDING MORE DETAILS.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE PEOPLE AT HAZELWOOD FOR
THEIR PATIENCE AND ALL-AROUND POSITIVE INFLUENCE
ON THIS RELEASE. I ALSO WISH TO THANK THOSE PEOPLE
PAST AND PRESENT WHO HAVE AIDED AND ABETTED MY LIFE
IN MUSIC,ESPECIALLY CESAR THE MONKEY WHOSE HEROIC
EFFORTS PREVENTED A GREAT TRAGEDY ALL THOSE YEARS
BACK.
MAY YOU CONTINUE TO BE TOUCHED BY LOVE AND MAGICK
AND PEACE.
GRANT HART
Grant wishes to correct an error in the liner notes,
in which "Cesar the monkey" is among those thanked.
Grant has learned that the monkey's actual name is
Amadeos.

Title: Workbook 25
Format: Double album (2xLP, 2xCD)
Label: Omnivore Recordings
Catalog Number: OVLP-36/OVCD-36
Date Recorded: Dec 1988-Feb 1989
14 May 1989 (live, Cabaret Metro, Chicago)*
Release Date: 25 Feb 2014
Personnel: Anton Fier--drums
Tony Maimone--bass
Jane Scarpantoni--cello
Steve Haigler--percussion
Notes: 25th Anniversary reissue edition with bonus tracks.
The Omnivore press release reads:
Alt-rock superstars Hüsker Dü called it a day on
January 28, 1988, but the band’s Bob Mould would
reappear on May 2, 1989 with his first solo
album—the incredibly impassioned and personal
Workbook.
In addition to writing and producing the entire
album, Mould sang all the vocals and played many
of the instruments, sharing duties with The Golden
Palominos’ Anton Fier on drums, Pere Ubu’s Tony
Maimone (bass) and cellist Jane Scarpantoni from
Tiny Lights. While always recognized as an
astonishing guitarist, Mould’s fretwork on
Workbook traveled to levels yet unheard or
imagined.
The album has since taken on iconic status, and
Omnivore is proud to present the 25th Anniversary
edition; Workbook 25
In addition to the original album’s 11 tracks, the
first disc of this 2-CD collection adds "All Those
People Know," originally issued as the B-side of
the single "See A Little Light." The second disc
is Bob’s complete 1989 performance at Chicago’s
Cabaret Metro. 13 of the 17 tracks are previously
unissued and the show contains music from the
then, two-week old, Workbook, Hüsker Dü favorites
and a cover of Richard & Linda Thompson’s classic
"Shoot Out The Lights."
The album will be available on vinyl for the first
time since its original release and will be
pressed on 2 LPs for sonic superiority. The vinyl
edition will also include the B-side, bonus track,
"All Those People Know."
As innovative as Hüsker Dü was, fans had to wonder
if Bob Mould could take them on another journey as
rewarding. Workbook not only proved he could, but
did.

Numero blurb:
Experience the punishing sonic origins of a punk
icon. Collected here for the first time, and
skillfully remastered from original board tapes,
demos, and session masters, this collection is an
authoritative chronicling of the wellspring and
maturation of Grant Hart, Greg Norton and Bob
Mould—three St. Paul teenagers who'd go on to
become the most heralded trio of the American punk
underground. Follow the Hüskers to their earliest
gigs in 1979, through extensive road dog touring,
and to the start of their partnership with West
Coast tastemaker SST in 1983 via a 108-page
hardbound book crammed full of photos, flyers, and
a sprawling essay with participation from the band.
Spread across four LPs, 47 of the 69 songs compiled
here are previously unissued, and includes In A
Free Land, Everything Falls Apart, and an alternate
Land Speed Record.

In the winter of 2019, Bob Mould bucked the era’s
despair with his most melodic, upbeat album in
ages, Sunshine Rock.
Cut to spring of 2020, and he has this to say:
"We’re really in deep shit now."
That sentiment informs the new full-length album,
Blue Hearts, the raging-but-catchy yin to Sunshine
Rock’s yang.
Recorded at the famed Electrical Audio in Chicago
with Beau Sorenson engineering and Mould producing,
Blue Hearts nods to Mould’s past while remaining
firmly planted in the issues of the day.

by heavy demand for vinyl. Downloadable digital

"partnership" with DC-Jam Records. (Original deal
with True North Records must not have worked out.)

Artist: Hüsker Dü
Title: Tonite LONGHORN
Format: Double album (2x12"/2xCD)
Label: Reflex Records/MVD
Catalog Number: MVD6029LP
Date Recorded: 06 Jul 1979
16 Jul 1980
25 Sep 1980
Release Date: 22 Apr 2023
Notes: Record Store Day 2023 release. Limited vinyl run of
5000 copies. This is a "Tier 2" (RSD first) release,
which means that it will eventually be given wider
distribution. (2xCD version not part of RSD.)
Content consists of live tracks extracted from
recordings made by Terry Katzman of three early
shows (including the very first) Hüsker Dü played at
Jay's Longhorn Bar in Minneapolis. Greg Norton notes
that the album title is a reference to this generic
flyer, which was designed to be reused, since the
band played there so frequently—and it has been
reused once again for the album artwork.
The project first came to light during a 2021
interview with Greg, who mentioned a tentative
release later in the year, but that announcement
turned out to be premature.
Promotional blurb from the RSD site:
A 2xLP set of rare, early Hüsker Dü live
recordings, featuring original flyers and artwork.
Drawn from the historical Hüsker Dü recording
archives compiled by Terry Katzman, this double
disc live set is an essential companion piece to
the band's Savage Young Du Box Set. While the SYD
release principally featured studio demos, the 28
tracks presented here are the aural and enchanting
equivalent of a time machine that vividly thrusts
the listener straight back to Husker Du's embryonic
unsheathing on stage.
Side A dates to July 1979. Side B gives us a full
year's evolution to July 1980, while Sides C and
D land the listener in September 1980. Perhaps
120 people in total saw these three Longhorn
performances. Until now, a handful at most have
heard the playbacks. So, rare and fresh, it's all
here: the songs, the driven performances, the
small club intimacy of being in front of select
friends, fans, and peers, with one fair shot at
getting it right. These four sides compellingly
document that you can't doubt that they did.

the music and let Greg write the lyrics as I wanted
him to be credited for his amazing talent. We bashed
each song together in one hour. I love working under
pressure that way."
