The Embarrassment - Retrospective: 8.5 (high A-)


Cassette-only release. I've long had a copy, but I haven't had a deck in decades. I did burn this to CD in the "burning to CD" age and put it on the shelf. So, it's two long tracks, one for each side. Anyway, all of this is on Heyday, except for the following songs from the Live side of the tape: "Pushin Too Hard," "Time Has Come," "I Only Want a Date," and "Podman." The first one is an obvious Seeds cover. The other 3 are live versions of songs on Blister Pop. In other words, there's no reason to have this over Heyday, and no need to physicalize, despite the high grade.

See here for an exhaustive discussion of their short but nevertheless complicated discography:
