So far, the brilliant Australian greats Go-Betweens have been honored by two box sets – G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume 1, a box set commemorating their earlier releases, and Volume 2, which arrived in 2019, chronicling their output in the latter half of the ’80s.
Now, Domino Records, which released these two sets, has announced G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume 3, the third and final installment of the anthology series, this time centered around the band’s final studio albums.
The box set includes the first-ever vinyl repressings of the Go-Betweens’ last three studio albums: 2000’s The Friends Of Rachel Worth, 2003’s Bright Yellow Bright Orange, and 2005’s Oceans Apart, the latter remixed for this release by original producer Mark Wallis.
G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume 3 also comprises a bunch of bonus material, including radio sessions, B-sides, and demos, including fourteen unreleased songs the duo recorded together in 1991. What’s more, the first 421 box set orders worldwide get a random book from Grant McLennan’s personal library — why not? — and a signed bookmark from Robert Forster.
You can order G Stands For Go-Betweens Volume 3, before it arrives December 13th, here.
The Go-Betweens were an Australian indie rock band formed in Brisbane, Queensland, in 1977. The band was co-founded and led by singer-songwriters and guitarists Robert Forster and Grant McLennan, who were its only constant members throughout its existence.
