Velocity Girl - Ultracopacetic

(Copacetic Remixed And Expanded) - 2LP Red Vinyl Loser Edition:

Velocity Girl formed in 1989 or so at the University of Maryland outside Washington DC, and shortly thereafter settled on the lasting lineup of guitarist Archie Moore (Black Tambourine), guitarist Brian Nelson (Black Tambourine), drummer Jim Spellman (Starry Eyes, Foxhall Stacks, High Back Chairs, Julie Ocean, Piper Club), bassist Kelly Riles (Starry Eyes), and singer Sarah Shannon (Starry Eyes, The Not It's). The band combined English-inspired noisy shoegaze fuzz with scrappy US indie rock and classic '60s-style pop songwriting. A killer single on Slumberland and non-stop touring grabbed the attention of the indie-rock cognoscenti of the day, and, following a heated courtship involving both dinner AND dessert, Velocity Girl signed a contract on a car hood in Hoboken, New Jersey, making Sub Pop their home. 

UltraCopacetic (Copacetic Remixed and Expanded), is an exciting alternate history of Copacetic, the band dug up and refreshed the rest of their studio material from the era: Ultracopacetic includes "Warm/Crawl" from the Velocity Girl/Tsunami split 7", "Creepy" from the Crazy Town 7", "Stupid Thing" from the Audrey's Eyes 7", and the unreleased album outtake "Even Die." Topping it all off is the band's complete five-song 1993 John Peel session, including two tracks that haven't been heard since the original broadcast. UltraCopacetic is truly the definitive version of Velocity Girl's first record.
