The rockers publicists confirmed the release date, which Rock Daily noted on Amazon.coms preorder page, which also indicates Interscope Records will handle the reissue. The LP was originally distributed by K Records and recorded before but released after Becks breakthrough major label debut Mellow Gold.
The news of the reissue first appeared in Japanese paper Daily Yomiuri, which interviewed Beck before his tour of Japan this month. Well, its been out of print for a few years, so its something weve been planning, but I knew that we had these extra tracks. Ive actually been working on this for the past two or three years, Beck told the newspaper. [On] the original tapes there were an extra maybe 30 songs that werent on the record and I picked the best and added them on there, so its got about a little over a dozen extra tracks that no ones heard before.
Exclaim.ca adds more potential details to the 15th anniversary reissue, including its potential track list. In addition to the original One Foot, the three-song Its All In Your Mind EP the original version, not the Sea Change version is reportedly included. Theres also evidently a batch of unreleased songs that have appeared only on bootlegs and been part of Beck lore but never heard (Teenage Wastebucket, Piss On the Door) and even some songs that the fine folks at Beck site Whiskeyclone havent heard of. We hate to get ahead of ourselves, but since were celebrating 15th birthdays, shouldnt Mellow Gold get one too?
