Courting Shutdown Offers Webstore Exclusive Demo Cassette
- Cassette £15.00
Today, we celebrate 30 years of Pavement’s debut full-length, Slanted & Enchanted, which was first released on this day in 1992 via Matador Records. It remains a truly monumental album – one that defined/ruined a generation and a genre, depending on who you ask.
This isn’t our first pass at the ‘Slanted and Enchanted’-anniversary-game and we’ve put decades of hard-earned know-how into making this one pop.
To start: On August 12, Pavement will release a limited-edition run of the Slanted & Enchanted on red/white/black splatter vinyl. We’ve also pressed up a lovingly detailed replica of the cassette Pavement used to shop Slanted & Enchanted to prospective record labels, titled Courting Shutdown Offers. This is an early version of the finished album with a different running order and a handful of alternate track titles.
