Mercury Rev - Yerself Is Steam + Car Wash Hair
Their 1991 critically acclaimed debut plus their debut 12” EP, in a gatefold sleeve.
Limited edition in orange vinyl.
Original artwork of both releases.
30 minute ‘untitled extra’ track on Car Wash Hair CD.
Currently touring UK & worldwide to support their new Bella Union album ‘Born Horses’
Mercury Rev’s 1991 debut album Yerself is Steam was a critical success, and quickly followed up by the Car Wash Hair single. The releases persuaded the band to perform their very first live gig – then their third gig was on the main stage at Reading Festival and their fourth was supporting Bob Dylan – an auspicious start to their decades-long career. Despite the plaudits resulting in strong sales and regular tours, it was not until their fourth album, Deserter’s Songs that they gained a mainstream audience.
Pitchfork: “a heroic dose of psychedelic rock that is equal parts nerve-wracking and awe-inspiring.”
