About this item

Considered by many the template for 1990s indie rock. Versus’ first full-length album became an instant cult classic. Recorded by Adam Lasus (Yo La Tengo, Helium, Lilys) at his Studio Red in March of 1994 and released just six weeks later in early May of that same year on the Teenbeat label. Finally back on vinyl LP with all new art on the outside (designed by Unrest’s Mark Robinson) and the original art on a full-color innersleeve, plus an OBI strip holding the package together. While the first pressing didn’t include the track 'Fallow', this edition has all 12 songs from the CD. Each of them remastered by Scott Anthony.

Formed in New York City in 1990 by guitarist Richard Baluyut and bassist Fontaine Toups, Versus became one of the most important, influential and underrated bands in the then budding indie-rock genre.
