RED RED MEAT

Bunny Gets Paid: Deluxe Edition - SP778

5207

Red Red Meat’s third full-length record, 1995’s Bunny Gets Paid has been out of print and unavailable for the past several years. And, while that’s a genuine shame on the face of it, it also provides a really good excuse for a deluxed-up reissue. In a recent reassessment of Red Red Meat’s catalog on Pitchfork Managing Editor Mark Richardson commented, “Having lived with these records for a decade plus now, I can say with confidence that this is Red Red Meat’s best by far. It’s one of the best pure rock records of the 1990s, actually, though it’s not exactly pure.”

We at Sub Pop heartily agree and have been talking about putting together this expanded reissue for the better part of a year now. In this deluxe edition, the original album has been remastered by Red Red Meat’s own Brian Deck and is accompanied by a 7-song 2nd disc of alternate, demo and single versions of album tracks, plus b-sides, covers and a previously unreleased song from the same era (“St. Anthony’s Jawbone”), all put together by the band. And it’s all packaged with expanded and enhanced album art. Bunny Gets Paid is easily one of the high points in the entire Sub Pop catalog (which is no one’s idea of “pure” either…), and we’re exceedingly proud to present it in this new version.

Listening Now?

No “Listening Now” cover from the Polara split? Boo.

Song #3

That would be Rosewood, WAX, VOLTZ + Glitter, just to set the record straight.

Song #3 - thanks!

Jeez – that was an embarrassing typo. Fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out.

Why no vinyl release with the reissue? I hate CD’s!

Just thought you might wanna know, the ad you put on pitchfork links to the old Bunny Gets Paid page, and not this one.
