Liz Phair to release Exile In Guyville 25th anniversary box set

To celebrate its 25th anniversary, Liz Phair’s Exile In Guyville is being remastered and reissued as a 3xCD or 7xLP box set.

Girly-Sound To Guyville: The 25th Anniversary Box Set features restored and remastered audio from the three ‘Girly-Sound’ tapes Phair made for friends in the early 90s, resulting in her eventual signing to Matador. Also included is a lavish book, containing an extensive oral history, plus essays by Liz Phair and journalist Ann Powers. The vinyl version of the book contains unseen photos and artwork.
