Proof needed ? Well, two tracks are available to listen to right now – well in advance of the March 10th release date (19th for the LP). Whilst this surely makes for a gorgeous collection – the more important thing is that it’ll be an essential listen for longtime fans and newcomers alike. The double LP is packaged in a gatefold jacket that includes an insert of the original liner notes, a postcard of the original master tapes, and several never-before seen photos. The second disc features five live multi-track recordings from the Yo Yo A Go Go Festival in Olympia WA in 1997, as well as three previously unreleased studio recordings and one B-side gem. That might sound like oddly specific praise, even mitigation, but 1997 was a stacked year for quality work. Either/Or is an acceptable pick for the best album of 1997.
