If you're not familiar with Superchunk or this release, here's some additional information: "Perhaps no band was more emblematic of the true spirit of American indie rock during the 1990s than Superchunk, the pride of Chapel Hill, NC. Following the D.I.Y. ethic to the letter, the group operated solely by their own rules, ignoring all passing trends by sticking to their trademark sound — typified by the buzzing guitars and high, impassioned vocals of frontman Mac McCaughan — and rejecting all major-label advances in favor of the unlimited freedom afforded by owning their own company, the highly successful Merge Records. Although Superchunk's resistance to the overtures of the music industry may have deprived them of the wider audience their work deserved, perhaps their greatest legacy remains their unwavering dedication to the indie tradition, a model which other up-and-coming bands often strive to emulate.

Superchunk at their most anthemic. In some respects their most traditional rock & roll song to date, it swaps the band's trademark sugar-rush frenzy for a slower, more muscular guitar riff and stadium-strength drumming, proving the increasing scope and flexibility of their basic approach. Among the two B-sides, the original "Forged It" is pure, uncut adrenaline — much more interesting is their cover of the Magnetic Fields' cult classic "100,000 Fireflies," which retains the mordant beauty of the original while boasting the energy of Superchunk's best work".

The Vinyl is Near Mint (9-9.5 of 10) in condition Original Heavy Paper Sleeve is also very nice - there are no problems to report.
