Galaxie 500 reissuing ‘Today,’ ‘On Fire,’ ‘This Is Our Music’ as 2CD sets, and on vinyl

Beloved dream-pop act Galaxie 500’s three studio albums — 1988’s Today, 1989’s On Fire and 1990’s This Is Our Music — will be reissued next spring in expanded 2CD sets and on heavyweight vinyl by Domino Records outside of North America, the label announced this week.

Due out March 22, each double-CD set will include, as a bonus disc, one of the three collections released following the band’s 1991 break-up: Today will be accompanied by Uncollected, a 14-track compilation originally included in the band’s 1996 box set before being issued separately in 2004; On Fire will include Peel Sessions, the group’s 2005 collection of BBC radio recordings; and This Is Our Music will feature Copenhagen, the 2007 live album that captured the trio’s last-ever European concert on Dec. 1, 1990.

In the U.S. and Canada, 20-20-20 — the label run by Galaxie 500’s rhythm section, Damon Krukowski and Naomi Yang — will release the three albums concurrently on CD in “mini LP” sleeves without the second discs; those bonus albums will be released for download through the band’s online store. The band already reissued the three albums on vinyl in North America last summer.
