Beck - Odelay (Vinyl)
'Odelay', Beck’s second album, is even more consistently engaging than 'Mellow Gold'. Co-produced by the Dust Brothers (who were responsible for the Beastie Boys‘ psychedelic hip-hop epic, 'Paul’s Boutique'), 'Odelay' winds up touching on a number of disparate strands - folk and country, grungy garage rock, electro, exotica, old-school rap, touches of noise rock - but despite the kitchen sink approach, everything flows very smoothly.
Most of the songs here betray Beck's roots as an anti-folk singer - he reworks blues structures ("Devil's Haircut"), country ("Sissyneck"), soul ("Hotwax"), folk ("Ramshackle") and rap ("Where It's At") - but each track twists conventions. Like a mosaic, all the details add up to a picture greater than its parts, so while some of Beck's best songs are here, 'Odelay' is best appreciated as a recorded whole.
This is the 2016 remastered version pressed onto 180gm vinyl.
Tracklist:
A1 Devils Haircut
A2 Hotwax
A3 Lord Only Knows
A4 The New Pollution
A5 Derelict
A6 Novacane
A7 Jack-Ass
B1 Where It's At
B2 Minus
B3 Sissyneck
B4 Readymade
B5 High 5 (Rock The Catskills)
B6 Ramshackle

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
