DFA COMPILATION #2 [Box Set] 4LP

4xLP Box Set

Behold, Compilation #2. A compendium what are arguably the best prime-era DFA cuts, mostly all recorded and/or remixed at the old DFA Studios on W. 13th Street (with some notable exceptions), released as 12-inches and then compiled onto a 3xCD set for convenience because, at the time, people actually bought CDs more than vinyl.

DFA went back and found the master tapes or files for each song - a not insignificant effort given their habit of disorganization. They then rather painstakingly resequenced and remastered it with the guy they trust with such things: Bob Weston at Chicago Mastering Service. The lacquers Bob cut were plated and pressed at what DFA believes to be one of the best pressing plants in the country: QRP in Salina, Kansas.

It sounds remarkable. It looks great. (Rob Carmichael re-did the original packaging, adding a new photo from DFA OG Tim Saccenti from one of the original parties at W. 13th St.) Of course, DFA somehow can’t stop themselves from making labeling errors - Pixeltan’s “That’s the Way I Like It” somehow escaped the center labels on the fourth record. It’s kind of the DFA curse. Has to be!
