Stereolab – Little Pieces Of Stereolab

A budget-priced introduction to the wonderful world of stereolab. The ‘switched on’ series was launched in 1992 as a way for the band to compile their many non-album tracks from one-off singles, split releases, compilation appearances, art installation commissions and more. Over the course of five volumes, the series has documented some of their best loved and most popular tracks, as well as fan favourites and intriguing deep cuts.

Little pieces of stereolab selects three tracks from each ‘switched on’ album, housed in a simple card wallet with bespoke artwork. Compiled as an entry point for the curious to the band’s vast back catalogue, it covers a wide range of stereolab music: from motorik earworms to cosmic country to radical tape cut-ups.

 

As with the much more extensive 8CD boxset iteration, all the tracks have been remastered from the original tapes.

 

CD in reverse board card wallet.
