Exile in Guyville, Liz Phair‘s iconic 1993 debut, is receiving the deluxe reissue treatment for its 25th birthday. Girly-Sound to Guyville: The 25th Anniversary Box Set collects the original album, newly remastered by Emily Lazar, as well as restored versions of the three tapes Phair recorded under the name Girly-Sound prior to making Guyville: Yo Yo Buddy Yup Yup Word to Ya Mutha, Girls! Girls! Girls!, and Sooty.
The full set runs to seven LPs or three CDs, accompanied by a book featuring an oral history of the album, essays by Phair and writer Ann Powers, and photographs. The music will be available for streaming and download, and you can also pick up the remastered version of Guyville alone as a CD or double LP. Everything is out May 4 from Matador.
In the present tense, Phair is working on two upcoming projects: a new album and a book. Neither has an anticipated date yet, but more than a year ago, she was spotted in the studio with Ryan Adams and Don Was, and late last year, Phair signed a two-book deal with Random House and announced a forthcoming memoir with the great title Horror Stories.
