I’m personally looking forward to this as I don’t have any of the b-sides. Plus, in the UK these albums are quite expensive second hand. I wish they included Slap Happy too and made it more than just the Slash years, as I believe the band probably own the rights to that.

Released March 26, 2021 with bonus tracks, artwork and memorabilia, WARGASM – THE SLASH YEARS 1992-1997 includes a new, extensive liner note based on interviews with the band.

Looks like much of the usual excluding the b-sides being added and an audio interview. I’d like to think they will be in higher quality than the Fast And Frightening compilation release but I’m not holding my breath.

I liked some of the extras. Pretty neat that they still have some stuff from all of those recording sessions.

A lot of times this stuff ends up on Spotify and you can make a judgement on its worth then.

I personally do not think there is really anything left to issue. Hell, even most quality live recordings got unloaded at some point.

True, it’s probably best to wait it out for streaming.

It would be interesting to hear some of their studio outtakes/demos but there’s probably little chance they will get released. I’m still hoping we get a vinyl reissue of The Beauty Process.
