Reissue. Recorded in 1988 but not released until 1993, Forever and a Day was the first full-length album by our favorite NYC jingle-jangle mop-tops, full of mid-60s sounding garage-y folk-rock. Out of print for many years, here's a long overdue vinyl reissue with band-sanctioned new artwork and remastered sound. Includes insert with detailed liner notes and photos; includes download card. "A folk-rock masterpiece. Sounding like Bob Dylan fronting the Blue Things, the band reprised the mood and feel of the genre they mined with amazing accuracy." --Beverly Paterson (Something Else!)

Reissue, originally released in 1994. Formed in New York in 1985, The Optic Nerve were children of Nuggets who dreamed about the Velvet Underground but looked like the Byrds. Their take on '65-66 jangly garage-folk-rock was unrivaled. Lotta Nerve collects their fabulous early 45s plus studio tracks for what should have been their aborted first album. Out of print for many years, here's a new vinyl edition with new artwork and remastered sound. RIYL: Byrds, Love, Gene Clark, Leaves, Dylan, Emitt Rhodes. Includes insert with detailed liner notes and photos; also includes download card.

On! is the lost, previously unreleased album by legendary New York garage-pop, folk-rockers Optic Nerve. Produced by Dave Amels and recorded in 2005 but possessing the same magical, timeless sound and spirit of their classic '80s recordings, full of jangly guitars and innocent vocal harmonies. Here, main songwriters Bobby Belfiore and Tony Matura combine their main influences (Byrds, Velvet Underground, Monkees...) with a good dose of '60s pop-psych and sunshine pop. RIYL: Byrds, Monkees, Lovin' Spoonful, Yo La Tengo, Teenage Fanclub. Includes insert with liner notes and photos; includes download card.
