The A-Side features the new rendition of āTake Me Iām Yours,ā with the B-Side showcasing the instrumental of the new version.Ā Ā Limited to 2,000 copies worldwide, includes digital download.
3 x 4: Ā The Bangles, The Three OāClock, The Dream Syndicate, Rain Parade
3 x 4: The Bangles, The Three OāClock, The Dream Syndicate, Rain Parade is a celebration of L.A.ās Paisley Underground scene of the early mid-1980s. Featuring brand-new recordings from four of the sceneās most notorious bands, each covering the songs of the others — 3 (songs) x 4 (bands) = 12 songs.
Slated as a Record Store Day First, the double LP will be pressed on a psychedelic swirl vinyl and has a different sequence than the CD. All covers of a band will be on each side (e.g. The Bangles side has the other bands cover The Bangles tunes). And, in the psychedelic spirit of the scene, the sides will be labeled: B, D, R, T — the first letter of each artists name).
Both CD and LP feature extensive liner notes from members of each of the bands.Ā Ā
