"A deluxe two-CD reissue of Sonic Youth&amp;apos;s 1992 recording,\nDirty, will be released on March 4th. The album will\ninclude eleven previously unreleased rehearsals and demos as well\nas a handful of b-sides. New liner notes, obligatory in the reissue\nrealm, will also be a part of the package, including essays by\nSonic Youth guitarists Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo, and a piece\nby journalist Byron Coley.\n&amp;quot;There&amp;apos;s lots of sort of weird stuff that we had on eight track\ntape, like demo things, working out songs,&amp;quot; Moore told Rolling\nStone earlier this year. &amp;quot;And there&amp;apos;s a couple of pieces that\nnever came to fruition during the songwriting of that record that\nwe discovered that we thought were kind of interesting. We weren&amp;apos;t\ntoo interested in putting live stuff on there, though there is live\nmaterial out there. But it would take forever to go through it and\nsearch for the good stuff.&amp;quot;\nAmong the additional material is &amp;quot;Stalker&amp;quot; (previously available\nonly on the double-vinyl version of the album), and rehearsal\nrecordings of &amp;quot;Little Jammy Thing,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Stalker,&amp;quot; and two songs,\n&amp;quot;Youth Against Facism,&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Wish Fulfillment,&amp;quot; that ended up on\nDirty in different formats. Eight of the rehearsal songs\nhave never been released: &amp;quot;Barracuda,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Dreamfinger,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;New White\nCross,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Guido,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Moonface,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Poet in the Pit,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Theoretical Chaos&amp;quot;\nand &amp;quot;Lite Damage.&amp;quot; B-sides include &amp;quot;Genetic,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Hendrix Necro,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The\nDestroyed Room,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Is It My Body,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Personality Crisis,&amp;quot; &amp;quot;The End of\nthe End of the Ugly&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Tamra.&amp;quot;\nDirty marked a new phase for the band. After releasing\ntheir first six albums independently, Sonic Youth signed with\nGeffen and issued Goo in 1990. In the two years that\nfollowed, the group played a role in getting Nirvana signed to the\nlabel, and Dirty reflects some residual synergy from a\njoint tour between the two bands. Sonic Youth enlisted producer\nButch Vig (who produced Nirvana&amp;apos;s Nevermind) to record the\nalbum, which featured a (relatively) more mainstream sound for the\nexperimental rock ensemble.\n\n&amp;quot;I do enjoy [digging through old recordings] in a way, but at\nthe same time I find it exasperating because we had to listen to\nall these things and make choices and there&amp;apos;s so much to\nlisten to,&amp;quot; Moore said. &amp;quot;And I don&amp;apos;t really like to listen to my\nstuff. When we make a new record, every once in awhile before it&amp;apos;s\nout, I like putting it on, just to sort of marvel at it. But after\nthe years go by, I don&amp;apos;t really pull out any of our records and\nlisten to them. There were moments on Dirty that I could\nhardly even remember where we were at that the point. It was ten\nyears ago.&amp;quot;\nSonic Youth will have to dig deeper than ten years for the next\ntwo reissues. Universal, which is reissuing Dirty, also\nhas plans to re-release Goo and what is widely considered\nthe band&amp;apos;s masterpiece, 1988&amp;apos;s Daydream Nation, both with\na bonus CD of rare and unreleased extras. A release date has not\nyet been set for either reissue.\n\nIn the meantime, the band continues to plug its 2002 release,\nMurray Street. A five-date tour of Japan is next, starting\nwith a two-night stand at Tokyo&amp;apos;s Akasaka Blitz on February 17th\nand 18th.\nDirty track listing:\n100%\nSwimsuit Issue\nTheresa&amp;apos;s Sound-World\nDrunken Butterfly\nShoot\n\nWish Fulfillment\nSugar Kane\nOrange Rolls, Angel&amp;apos;s Spit\nYouth Against Facism\nNic Fit\nOn the Strip\nChapel Hill\nJC\nPurr\n\nCr&amp;#xE8;me Brulee\nBonus material:\nIs It My Body\nPersonality Crisis\nThe End of the End of the Ugly\nTamra\nLittle Jammy Thing\nLite Damage\nDreamfinger\n\nBarracuda\nNew White Kross\nGuido\nStalker\nMoonface\nPoet in the Pit\nTheoretical Chaos\nYouth Against Fascism\nWish Fulfillment\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
