Release Notes:
--------
ôTo make an album that still sounds fresh and exciting more than 20 years after
its first release is a rare accomplishment for any band. When a debut record
endures that long, you're dealing with something truly special...The sound is
singular and exciting, true to its own style and the personalities of the people
who came up with it. Such music speaks to those who seek it and waylays those
who stumble across it. Whether its audience is measured in millions or
thousands, it's the only kind of rock 'n' roll (or most anything else in the
cultural arena) that counts.
--Dave Marsh
The Bodeans' 1986 debut album LOVE & HOPE & SEX & DREAMS, named for lyrics from
the Rolling Stones' song ôShattered,ö introduced the band with an 11-song set of
heartfelt rock 'n roll intertwining personal lyrics, seamless harmonies and
rich, ringing guitars. Rhino's deluxe two-disc COLLECTOR'S EDITION contains a
remastered version of the original Slash/Warner Bros. album on CD-now expanded
with six bonus tracks including a new song and four previously unissued
demos-and a previously unreleased 1985 concert on DVD.
The package also includes exclusive new liner notes by rock journalist Dave
Marsh and an in-depth essay by Bodeans co-founder Kurt Neumann, who says, ôI've
always wanted to rerelease our first record, LOVE & HOPE & SEX & DREAMS. It was
released when the format for music was going through transition, moving from
vinyl and cassette tape to the compact disc, and it required changing analog
music into digital code so it could be placed on an optical disc. That required
a converter. And at the time there wasn't much thought about how good that
conversion process was going to sound when compared to the original analog
source-until recently...now you get to hear it the way it sounded when we first
recorded it. I hope you like it.ö
Neumann and Sammy Llanas formed the BoDeans in 1983 in Waukesha, Wisconsin. With
LOVE & HOPE & SEX & DREAMS, they won critical acclaim and a wide following that
voted the Bodeans the Best New American Band in Rolling Stone Magazine's 1998
readers' poll. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by T-Bone Burnett-whose
recent credits include the Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's Raising Sand and the
GRAMMY«-winning soundtrack O Brother, Where Art Thou?-the Bodeans' debut album's
highlights include ôShe's A Runaway,ö ôStill The Night,ö ôAngelsö and
ôFadeaway.ö
On the COLLECTOR'S EDITION reissue, six bonus tracks include the new song
ôJaneyö (available for the first time here) and ôTry And Try,ö the rare b-side
of ôFadeaway.ö Rhino also unearthed four unreleased demos that Neumann and Llana
recorded during college, where they reportedly enrolled solely to gain access to
the school's four-track recorder: ôAmen,ö ôSmall Town Ways,ö ôSail Awayö and
ôTurn Your Radio On.ö
The DVD captures the BoDeans' previously unreleased performance at the storied
Minneapolis nightclub First Avenue on July 15, 1985, before they were signed to
Slash. During the hour-long show, they played 17 songs, previewing several that
would appear on their debut the next year including ôShe's A Runaway,ö ôRickshaw
Riding,ö ôMiseryö and ôThe Strangest Kind.ö The concert also featured an
early-version of ôJaney,ö the song that Neumann and Llanas recorded for the
first time in 2008 especially for this COLLECTOR'S EDITION.
