Hard to believe we put this together five years ago already. Time flies when you throw your alarm clock out the window. Anyway, this 2LP set features tracks that people sent us to consider releasing over the course of our first decade as Old Gold. It also includes live tracks recorded around Atlanta, some alternate versions of songs we did release, and other oddities we honestly meant to put out earlier. There are 210 copies of the comp, and the first 110 came with handmade gatefold jackets and painted/collaged centefolds as well as a booklet documenting Old Gold's first 10 years and discography up to that point. Needless to say it was a bitch to put together, so for the final 100 copies, we're jamming both LPs into one jacket and giving you the track listing - no booklet, no gatefolds. Sorry but that's the way the cookie crumbles. However, it is cheaper now - $12 per copy. Impossible to find a better comp for less out there. We dare you, asshole.
Oh yeah, OGX includes sounds from: Jad Fair & R. Stevie Moore, Charlie Parker, Petland Toy Faktory, Bad Poet, Cheryle Leonard, David Daniell, Eyeball Hurt & The Medicine, Tom Heasley, Morgan Guberman, 2 Geniuses, Zandosis, How to Kick Yourself, Earzumba, The Buford Highway, Bon Vivants, More, Yximalloo, Eugene Chadbourne & Davey Williams, Gold Sparkle Band, and others I'm forgetting right now.

Christ almighty. Well, this was bound to surface sooner or later, and here it is for a few lucky souls. Two hours of sounds spread across two cdrs that capture the best/worst of a monthlong project Old Gold put together to mark its fifth anniversary back in 1999. Anyone visiting the Eyedrum music/art/beer space in Atlanta could record their own six-minute-long cassette and create a cover and name for it. In the end, 40 tapes were put together to form the genesis of a new label that we tried to auction off for like $30. No one wanted it, so we kept it. And now in honor of Eyedrum's 10th anniversary and Old Gold's 15th, here ya go. Drunken conversation, bootlegged performances, street noise, urination, sex talk, improv blues and folks tunes by "groups" with names like Grand Dysentary, Florida is Death, A Beautiful Indian Pancake, Slowmobile and my favorite, Formula 44DD.
Packaged almost professionally in a 2CD case with color cover and insert. Edition of 13. $12 each. Will not ship to Georgia.
