Sonic Youth's Goo, a landmark album in the history of alternative rock, receives the Deluxe Edition treatment with digital remastering and the addition of rarities and unreleased recordings. The two-CD Goo - Deluxe Edition, expands the original 1990 album with outtakes, b-sides, rehearsal recordings, demos and the audio from a tongue-in-cheek promotion-only interview flexi disc. Sonic Youth's eighth album, Goo was the band's first to receive major label distribution, and first to find a place on Billboard's Top 100 Albums chart. Goo reached more ears than any earlier SY album, including those of Neil Young...who invited the band on tour with Crazy Horse. Along with the Top 10 Modern Rock hit "Kool Thing," guesting Public Enemy's Chuck D, Disc One of Goo - Deluxe Edition presents "Tunic," "Disappearer," "Titanium Expose," "Dirty Boots," "Cinderella's Big Score," "My Friend Goo," "Mote," "Mary-Christ," "Mildred Pierce" and "Scooter + Jinx." Added are two previously unreleased tracks, a vocal take of "Lee #2" and "Tuff Boyz," plus the rarities "That's All I Know (Right Now)" (a cover of the proto-punk Neon Boys song), a live version of "The Bedroom," and "Dr. Benway's House," the band's contribution to William Burroughs' Dead City Radio album. For Disc Two, previously unreleased instrumentals "Isaac" and "Can Song" join a cover of the Beach Boys' "I Know There's An Answer" recorded for the Smiles, Vibes And Harmony compilation and the promotion-only Goo interview flexi disc. Also heard are 11 demos, highlighted by extended versions, a pre-Chuck D "Kool Thing" and near-nine-minute "Blow Job" (aka "Mildred Pierce"), actually one of the first SY songs ever written. The demos were widely bootlegged before the band issued them via their fan club. They are heard remixed and remastered for the first time on Goo - Deluxe Edition.
