The ‘Last Splash’-era lineup of The Breeders — Kim Deal, Kelley Deal, Josephine Wiggs, and Jim Macpherson — has reunited to celebrate the 20th anniversary of that album and its breakout hit “Cannonball,” and will reissue the record in a deluxe edition and then perform it live on tour in the U.S. and Europe in 2013.

Pylon Records next week will release an expanded reissue of the debut mini-LP ‘Eureka’ on vinyl and, for the first time ever, CD from late-’80s Los Angeles post-punk trio Abecedarians, the only American band to have released a single — 1985’s “Smiling Monarchs” — on Manchester’s legendary Factory Records.

This Christmas marks the 25th anniversary of the boozy holiday classic “Fairytale of New York” by The Pogues and the late Kirsty MacColl, so, to mark the occasion, the band is reissuing the 1987 single in a variety of digital and vinyl formats with new cover art.

It’s been a big year for fans of Bob Mould’s post-Hüsker Dü act Sugar, with competing — and slightly different — sets of CD reissues out in the U.S. and U.K., plus live performances of Copper Blue around the world. Now, the U.K.’s Demon Music Group is compiling the band’s complete recordings in an 8-record audiophile vinyl set.

Cherry Red Records today offered up a third previously unreleased demo off its upcoming 3CD expanded reissue of the self-titled 1988 debut from The House of Love — this time frontman Guy Chadwick’s original demo of “Shine On,” the band’s first single. Check it out here.

Following news this week that The Lemonheads are working on a Ryan Adam-produced reunion album, Fire Records today announced that it will reissue the band’s first three albums — 1987’s ‘Hate Your Friends,’ 1988’s ‘Creator’ and 1989’s ‘Lick,’ all of which featured Evan Dando and original co-songwriter Ben Deily — in 2013.
