The Beatifics - How I Learned To Stop Worrying 20th Anniversary VINYL reissue + Download With Ten Bonus Tracks!
The Beatifics' brilliant debut album 'How I Learned To Stop Worrying' was released in 1996 and instantly caught the attention of anyone that listened. The songs matched catchy pop hooks with bittersweet lyrics that only needed to be heard once to get permanently stuck in the heads of Power Pop fans worldwide. The album has built up a devoted base of true believers over the years, which has made it all the more frustrating that it has been completely unavailable in any format for an unacceptable amount of time.
Grandma Camp Records has marked the 20th anniversary of this infectious masterpiece by making it available again, not only in digital form, but also for the first time on vinyl. This limited edition LP was pressed by Pallas USA and features a gorgeous tip-on jacket with new liner notes by Chris Dorn and John M. Borack, Contributing Editor for Goldmine Magazine. It also includes a download that features the only existing live recordings of the original band lineup, as well as rare demos of songs from pre-Beatifics band The Rockefellers.
"How I Learned To Stop Worrying is a damn near flawless disc of pop delights, one that helped place Chris Dorn in the forefront of the ‘90s power pop scene, and an album that has more than stood the test of time. It's your turn to fall in love again, too."
John M. Borack Contributing Editor, Goldmine Magazine
"‘How I Learned To Stop Worrying’ is a classic. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it's everything a great power pop album should be: Catchy, memorable, fun, wistful, and brainy all at once. The hooks are to die for, and the melodies will stick in your head. Plato's power pop ideal, then.”
