Hear Tons of Unreleased Hüsker Dü Material From Forthcoming Early Reissue Set

Andy Cush // September 5, 2017


There’s a mother lode of music arriving for fans of Hüsker Dü, who soon will be issuing a trove of mostly unreleased material from early in their career. In November, the Numero Group reissue label will release Savage Young Dü, a 4-LP or 3-CD box set of music from between the band’s formation in 1979 to their signing with SST Records in 1983, including alternate takes of their entire debut full-length Land Speed Record. NPR is currently streaming the whole thing here.

Forty-seven of the 69 songs that appear on Savage Young Dü are previously unreleased; these recordings are mostly demos and live takes of songs that never made it onto the records. In addition to the alternate version of Land Speed Record, there’s a remastered version of their second album Everything Falls Apart, and the songs from each of the relatively rare seven-inches they released in their formative years. (Numero previously reissued “Statues”/”Amusement,” the Huskers’ first single, for Record Store Day in 2013, and those songs will also be included in the box set.)
