Beck One Foot in the Grave Limited 2LP Set/Bonus Unreleased Tracks.
Overview
Released barely four months after Beck's 1994 debut 'Mellow Gold', the minimalist mutant folk collection 'One Foot In The Grave' was a curveball that temporarily threw casual 'Loser' fans off Beck's scent while presaging myriad musical adventures to come in the form of 1996's multi-platinum breakthrough 'Odelay'.
'One Foot in the Grave' will be reissued in a deluxe format including 13 previously unreleased tracks from the original sessions and three more from an out of print 7" only release, including an early version of 'It's All In Your Mind' from 2002's 'Sea Change'.
'One Foot in the Grave' was originally released in June 1994 on K Records, and was recorded by Calvin Johnson, founder of the label and proprietor of Dub Narcotic Studios. Sessions began in the fall of 1993, a few months into the existence of Calvin's Olympia, WA basement studio on a reel to reel 8 track.
Released with little to no initial promotion or fanfare, the record has grown from a cult favorite to one of the most highly regarded releases of the extensive Beck oeuvre, with tracks like 'Hollow Log', 'He's A Mighty Good Leader' and 'Asshole', which was covered by Tom Petty on his 'She's The One' album.
