Canadian guitar pop royalty Sloan have announced details of their 20th anniversary box set for their third album, One Chord to Another. The set three-disc vinyl box features the original 1996 album remastered from the original tapes; an 11-track LP of unreleased 4-track and studio recordings that basically make up a “lost” album recorded between Twice Removed and OCTA; and the Live at A Sloan Party album that came with initial CD copies of the U.S. release of the album with new cover art that, like the record itself, is an homage to the Beach Boys’ “Party” LP.
There’s also a 7″ single featuring demos of songs that would appear on the album; a 32-page book with liner notes, rare photos and other memorabilia;, and a fanzine style booklet that collects actual fanzine stories on Sloan from the ’90s. The included digital download also includes demo versions of every song from One Chord to Another. It’s on sale now. and full tracklist, pics of the set, and a video featuring Sloan’s Chris Murphy and Jay Ferguson detailing the box set, are below.
Once Chord to Another is Sloan’s most overty ’60s-inspired album, drawing from The Beatles, Beach Boys, The Turtles, Zombies and other pop from the era, with some of the band’s best-loved songs, including “The Good in Everyone,” “G Turns to D,” “”Everything You’ve Done Wrong” “Nothing Left To Make Me Want To Stay” and “The Lines You Amend.” The whole record is great, it’s maybe my favorite of all their albums. You can stream the original album via Spotify below.
Like they did when the Twice Removed box set came out, Sloan will be playing One Chord to Another in full on tour this year. So far, it’s mainly Canadian dates, with a few U.S. shows on the West Coast. More U.S. dates, including ones on the East Coast, will follow this fall.
