Pavement re-issue 'Wowee Zowee'

New double disc version comes with tons of extras

Pavement are re-issuing a special version of their third album 'Wowee Zowee'.

The now defunct five-piece's 1995 LP is being released in a double disc format and will feature over 50 tracks, 18 of which are previously unreleased.

The re-issue, entitled 'Wowee Zowee - Sordid Sentinals', includes a remastered version of the original album, six unreleased live tracks and outtakes, nine b-sides, four period compilation tracks from the 'Schoolhouse Rock! Rocks' tribute album and the 'Homage' tribute to The Descendents. Also included are the soundtracks to 'I Shot Andy Warhol' and 'Kids In The Hall: Brain Candy'.

The release, which is out on December 4, also features five BBC Evening Session tracks and nine other live tracks.

Pavement released five albums before they split in 1999.
