| IN 1992 GUIDED BY VOICES RELEASED THEIR 5TH ALBUM, PROPELLER, IN A LIMITED RUN OF 500 COPIES, MANY WITH INDIVIDUALLY CREATED COVERS. AFTER SEVERAL YEARS OF INDIFFERENCE TO THEIR PREVIOUS SELF-RELEASED ALBUMS, THE BAND ASSUMED THIS WOULD BE THEIR FINAL LP. BUT PEOPLE AT BETTER RECORD STORES TOOK NOTICE OF THIS ALBUM AND WORD ABOUT THE GROUP BEGAN TO SPREAD QUICKLY, LEADING TO CANCELLATION OF THEIR RETIREMENT PLANS AND A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER PROFILE IN THE FOLLOWING YEARS. EVEN IN 2005 WITH DOZENS OF OTHER GBV AND ROBERT POLLARD RELATED RELEASES, PROPELLER IS STILL REGARDED AS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE VOLUMINOUS GBV DISCOGRAPHY. ORIGINAL COPIES OF THE ALBUM TRADE AT EXORBITANTLY HIGH PRICES. VINYL LOVERS CAN NOW BUY THESE HIGH-QUALITY REPRODUCTIONS AT 1% OF THE COST OF AN ORIGINAL. THERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT LP JACKET DESIGNS AVAILABLE, TAKEN FROM PROPELLER #1 AND #14, RESPECTIVELY. EACH IS PRINTED ON HEAVY DUTY TIP-ON STYLE JACKETS, INCLUDES A HEAVY WEIGHT INSERT PICTURING ALL KNOWN PROPELLERS, AND IS PRESSED FROM DMM MASTERS ON VIRGIN VINYL. THIS ALSO SEEMED A GOOD TIME TO UPDATE THE ARTWORK FOR THE CD VERSION. THE PACKAGING HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REDONE AND NOW EXCLUSIVELY FEATURES COLLAGES AND ART FROM ORIGINAL COPIES OF PROPELLER. TRACK LISTING AND MASTERING IS UNCHANGED FROM THE LAST EDITION. | |
