LP - Indies Exclusive Limited Edition Purple & Green Vinyl + Bonus White 7" Vinyl. Only 3,000 copies worldwide in this edition.
Celebrating the 15th anniversary since its original release, Dinosaur Jr. is reissuing “Beyond” as an Indies Exclusive on limited purple & green coloured vinyl with a special edition white vinyl 7”.
With J Mascis on guitar and lead vocals, Lou Barlow on bass and vocals, and Murph on drums, the 2007 album was the first from original lineup Dinosaur Jr. since 1988’s Bug, kicking off a Dinosaur Jr. reunion which has lasted longer than the band’s original run.
Beyond is nostalgic for everything but the band's own glory days. If anything, it's an exercise in making their entire twenty-year output sound contemporary again.
"Less a theme park of the past and more of an actual trip there… Beyond is nostalgic for everything but the band's own glory days. If anything, it's an exercise in making their entire twenty-year output sound contemporary again.” - Zach Baron for Pitchfork
"the very existence of this new album is a surprise, but the real shock is that Beyond is a flat-out great record, a startling return to form for J Mascis as a guitarist and songwriter and Dinosaur Jr. as a band… Beyond isn't merely a worthy album from a reunited band, it's simply a great record by any standard.” - Stephen Thomas Erlewine for Allmusic Guide
"There is something almost eerie about how exactly the Dinosaur Jr of 2007 sound like the Dinosaur Jr of 1988: on occasion, listening to Beyond feels discombobulating, like meeting an old school friend 20 years on…" - Alex Petridis for The Guardian
