Can't wait to fill the Mellow Gold sized hole in the Beck vinyl collection, a monumental 90s album, groundbreaking and signalled the true arrival to a restlessly genre-shifting artist. Whilst we're doing MG, would you mind sorting that sweet Midnite Vultures reissue?
Surfacing just as alternative rock went mainstream, Beck’s 1994 official album debut, Mellow Gold, quickly confounded expectations when “Loser” metamorphosed from a rejected demo to a ubiquitous smash. “Loser” showcased Beck’s unconventional approach to songwriting and solidified his status and an innovative voice in alternative music. The song contains a sample from “I Walk on Guilded Splinters” by Dr. John.
Mellow Gold was produced by Beck, Tom Rothrock, Rob Schnapf and Karl Stephenson. The album was mixed by Tom Rothrock and Rob Schnapf.
This edition is pressed on 180 Gram, Black Vinyl.
