The box set includes a few fantastic out-takes from the This Is Our Music session, including the Young Marble Giants' "Final Day" and a ripping leap through the Velvets' "Here She Comes Now," as well as a cover of the Rutles' classic "Cheese & Onions," recorded for a Rutles tribute record assembled by Kramer.
In the spring of 1991, not too long before alternative became alternative, one of the era's best bands came to an untimely end. All three Galaxie 500 members have recorded subsequently; Dean with Luna, Damon and Naomi as Damon & Naomi and as members of Magic Hour. But there will always be a special place for Galaxie 500. The least Bostonian of all bands, and the one whose original goal (getting a single into local bargain bins) was so modest, may prove to be amongst the best that Boston has ever produced.
