Artist:	SONIC YOUTH
Title:	Murray Street
Label:	GOOFIN'
Format:	LP
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	GOO 004LP

"Indie vinyl of Sonic Youth's major label CD. The first Sonic Youth rock studio album following the assimilation of Jim O'Rourke. 180-gram vinyl. Sonic Youth have turned 21 years of age this year. The apprenticeship is over. They are now legal to fully rock on. Murray Street is where it gets interesting. The name comes from the street where Sonic Youth create rock'n'roll. This album was written by Sonic Youth with newest member Jim O'Rourke, who helped engineer and did the mixing under the watchful eye and baffling behavior of the original SY members. The cover is a photograph taken by Monique, two children secured by webbing, at one with goddess earth."

Title:	Dirty
Label:	GOOFIN'
Format:	4LP
Price:	$34.00
Catalog #:	GOO 005LP

"Quadruple-LP box set on the band's own Goofin' Records imprint includes: the original 15 album tracks; nearly two dozen bonus tracks culled from B-sides ('Genetic,' 'Hendrix Necro,' 'The Destroyed Room,' 'Is It My Body,' 'Personality Crisis,' 'The End Of The End Of The Ugly' and the eight-minute epic 'Tamra'), outtakes ('Stalker,' 'Youth Against Fascism' and 'Wish Fulfillment'), and rehearsal tapes from the period (the previously released 'Little Jammy Thing' and previously unreleased songs 'Lite Damage,' 'Dreamfinger,' 'Barracuda,' 'New White Kross,' 'Guido,' 'Moonface,' 'Poet In The Pit' and 'Theoretical Chaos'); an eye-watering trove of full-color artwork; and essays from Thurston Moore, Lee Ranaldo and journalist/co-conspirator Byron Coley.

The band's eighth official album, Dirty reflects the influence of touring partners such as Mudhoney and Nirvana; indeed, the team behind Nevermind -- producer Butch Vig and mixer Andy Wallace -- helped to craft an explosive, intense yet melodic rock album which would become arguably the band's most commercially and critically successful work to date."

Artist:	SONIC YOUTH
Title:	Sonic Nurse
Label:	GOOFIN'
Format:	2LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	GOO 006LP

Double LP, full color gatefold. "After twenty-three years of explosive creativity Sonic Youth throws down what may be their heaviest classic since the genre-breaking Daydream Nation. Nurse is the nineteenth long player by the New York City supernova, an action explosion Time magazine has already tagged as 'Sonic Youth's most adventurous and soul-stirring release to date, by a goddamn country mile.' Ten songs of American beauty and sonic death: on 'Pattern Recognition' Kim Gordon takes Justin Timberlake's hand and sticks it in a tendon-shredding meat grinder; they gay marriage the hell out of religious zealot war pigs Cheney, Rumsfeld, Bush and Ashcroft with the meditative 'Peace Attack'; Bare Trees-era Fleetwood Mac jams with Jealous Again-era Black Flag on the heart-pounding 'Unmade Bed' and 'I Love You Golden Blue'; the core reactor awesomeness of 'Paper Cup Exit' reduces such legends as Led Zeppelin and Yes to just so much British schoolboy whimpering."

Title:	Sonic Youth
Label:	GOOFIN'
Format:	2LP
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	GOO 008LP

"Sonic Youth's eponymous debut EP, reissued in a deluxe double-LP edition on the band's own Goofin' imprint, was recorded in late 1981 at Radio City Music Hall in NYC and originally released on composer Glenn Branca's Neutral label. The album is loosely based on compositions the newly formed group had performed at that year's week-long Noisefest event (and remains the only recorded document of an early line-up featuring actor Richard Edson on drums). The newly remastered vinyl also features extra live material from a 1981 gig, and a track from a previously unheard studio session."

Artist:	CICCONE YOUTH
Title:	The Whitey Album
Label:	GOOFIN'
Format:	LP
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	GOO 009LP

"A deluxe vinyl re-release of Ciccone Youth's The Whitey Album, the full-length recorded by Sonic Youth's Top-40 obsessed alter-ego is now available on the band's own Goofin' imprint. In 1988, after hinting that a tribute to the Beatles' White Album was in the works, the band about-faced and delivered this brain-sick celebration of pop culture and The Material Girl in particular. The album has been spectacularly remastered and manufactured to provide hi-fi reproductions of such favorites as 'Needle-Gun,' 'MacBeth,' and Mike Watt's original demo recording of 'Burnin' Up.'"
