1234 Go! (2022, Reissue)
This is the fifth and final 12"/LP Pinhead Gunpowder reissue from 1234 Go. Compulsive Disclosure originally came out in 2003, back when I worked in the music biz. I actually got to promote this album to college radio when it was released as the company I worked for promoted most of the Lookout releases at the time. The fact that this came out twenty years ago at this point is pretty insane.
I'm not sure why this ended up being the final PHG album, but it was a pretty solid way to go out. Lots of great songs, though my favorite will always be "Landlords." The version on the full length is acoustic, and great, but the electric version on the 8 Chords, 328 Words 7" will always be held in slightly higher esteem by me.
This reissue has all of the songs from the original Lookout CD, plus three extra tracks: "Anniversary Song," West Side Highway" and "On The Ave." All of these were from the West Side Highway 7" that came out around the same time, but of course I bought the reissue of that as well (even though I have the original release). 1234 Go! did a pretty great job with this reissue series. Everything sounds great and brought some wonderful records that had been out of print for way to long back into circulation. They're all worth picking up and I'm stoked to have these in the collection. Even though I already had the original pressings of most of them, these are improved enough to be worth the double dip.
