The 20th anniversary reissue of the The Breeders’ breakout album Last Splash will come in a mammoth 7-disc vinyl box set that features the original record, a live album recorded in Stockholm, a collection of previously unreleased demos, non-album tracks and BBC session cuts, and four individual EPs repressed on 10-inch platters.
According to Spin, which posted the tracklist this morning, the reissue — dubbed LSXX — is due out April 23 on 4AD and also will be available in a 3CD version. The packaging is designed by 4AD mainstay Vaughan Oliver, and the set includes a 24-page booklet with previously unpublished photographs.
The Last Splash-era lineup — Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson — has reunited to promote the reissue with concerts in the U.S. and Europe this year.

when is it on sale? i must have it now!!!
I bet it will be pricey. I would guess around $175-$199.
Awesome! So glad this lineup reformed too.
Great to have those demos from the source. I’ve had a crappy bootleg for years. (Now if only I could get the POD demos remastered!)
