Lemonheads' Classic Album It's a Shame About Ray Reissued for Its 30th Anniversary Edition on LP. Includes the title track, "My Drug Buddy," "Rudderless" and More.
Lemonheads' seminal 1992 album is back on vinyl, featuring Evan Dando classics such as "My Drug Buddy," "Rudderless" and "It's a Shame About Ray," lovingly reissued by Fire Records.
The album is described by music journalist and author Everett True as "A 30-minute insight into what it's like to live hard and fast and loose and happy with like-minded buddies, fueled by a shared love for similar bands and drugs and booze and freedom."
It's a Shame About Ray had a considerable impact back in those heady, carefree days of '92. The record perfectly captures Dando's ability to effortlessly encapsulate teenage longing and lust over the course of a two-minute pop song.
The reissue includes a limited time download card with a slew of extra material, including the "My Drug Buddy" KCRW session track from 1992 featuring Juliana Hatfield, B-sides from singles "It's a Shame About Ray," and "Confetti," and a track from the Mrs. Robinson / Being Round EP.
