It is truly a monster of an album. J.'s playing on that album is just fucking epic.
Question: I've owned a few editions of this album, some ending with "Just Like Heaven" and one that ended with and awsome deconstruction of Peter Frampton's "Show me the Way". What is the story with this? I'm pretty sure the frampton version came first cuz I had the SST version of the album shortly after it came out but have always wondered about this.
source, wiki:
Dinosaur recorded much of their second album You're Living All Over Me with Sonic Youth engineer Wharton Tiers in New York. During the recording process, tension emerged between Mascis and Murph because Mascis had very specific ideas for the drum parts. Barlow recalled, "J controlled Murph's every drumbeat...And Murph could not handle that. Murph wanted to kill J for the longest time."[8] Gerard Cosloy was excited by the completed album, but was devastated when Mascis told him the band was going to release it on SST Records. Mascis was reluctant to sign a two-album deal with Homestead, but Cosloy felt betrayed; Cosloy said, "There was no way I couldn't take it personally."[9] After the album's completion Mascis moved to New York, leaving the rest of the band feeling alienated.[10]
(you see . . . this album ruined the band).
from wiki, as well:
The album was originally issued when the band were still known as Dinosaur, before a lawsuit forced the name change to Dinosaur Jr. The album was recalled by SST a few months after release, and new copies were printed crediting the band as Dinosaur Jr.
