Violent Femmes: Add It Up (1981-1993) LP

As Violent Femmes celebrate their 40th year together, Craft Recordings honors the band's enduring catalog of cult classics with the long out-of-print vinyl reissue of the popular 1993 collection Add It Up (1981 – 1993). The 23-track compilation features Violent Femmes' biggest hits, including "Blister in the Sun," "American Music," and "Gone Daddy Gone," plus live recordings of favorites like "Add It Up," and "Kiss Off," alongside a trove of demos, B-sides, interstitial voice recordings, and rarities. Housed in a gatefold jacket, the 2LP-set was pressed at Memphis Records Pressing, with lacquers cut by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. Add It Up (1981 – 1993) draws from their first five albums – documenting the trailblazing band's stylistic development as they rose to become one of alt-rock's most commercially-successful acts. Offering fans more than just a compilation of hits, Add It Up also spotlights Violent Femmes' energetic live performances – captured at the height of their career. Additionally, nearly half of the collection is devoted to rarities, including demos, B-sides, and imports that were previously unavailable in the US, at the time of Add It Up's release. These include "I Hate the TV," "Gimme The Car," and "Dance, M.F., Dance!"
