Frank Black was once voted Teenager of the Year in his youth hence the title of his second solo album. After putting the Pixies on hold he embarked on a solo career beginning with a workmanlike 1993 self-titled debut.
Teenager of the Year came along not long after and was a dizzying and often inspired effort containing twenty two tracks of varying quality but when it wsas good it was very good indeed.
This double LP set on gold-coloured vinyl has been remastered from the original tapes by Kevin Vanbergen and cut at 45 RPM for maximum fidelity. It also comes with a gatefold sleeve featuring new liner notes by Frank and keyboardist/co-producer Eric Drew Feldman.
“Teenager of the Year”, which will be out January 17th via 4AD.
