REISSUE: G. Love & Special Sauce - G. Love & Special Sauce (30th Anniversary)

 In case you missed it, Epic Records/Legacy Recordings reissued G. Love & Special Sauce’s self-titled debut album earlier this year with a remastered and expanded edition to celebrate the album’s 30^th anniversary.

Originally released in 1994, the debut album from the Philly based trio led by vocalist/guitarist Garrett “G. Love” Dutton introduced a new flavor to the 90’s variety pack with their own rootsy brand of hip-hop and blues-informed alt-rock.  Led by the refreshing and infectious single, “Cold Beverage” and standout tracks, “Baby’s Got Sauce”, “Garbage Man”, “Shooting Hoops” and “Blues Music”, the album quickly became a cult classic. 

The expanded digital reissue – released in January – includes the original album remastered as well as 11 previously unreleased live tracks recorded in New York in 1994.  Additionally, for Record Store Day in April, a new vinyl pressing was issued of the self-titled album on light blue vinyl that features 4 rare B-sides on the D-side for the first time on vinyl, including, a rousing live version of “The Things That I Used To Do” and a faster, alternate version of “Blues Music”.
