"Nearly twenty-five years after disbanding Gastr del Sol have unpacked their archive stringing together an alternative view to their genre-melting 1993-1998 run. We Have Dozens of Titles contains nearly an hour of previously unreleased live recordings alongside another near-hour of studio recordings culled from previously uncollected singles EPs and compilations. At long last vinyl purchasers will hear the full range of ""The Harp Factory on Lake Street"" ""Dead Cats in a Foghorn"" ""Quietly Approaching"" and ""The Bells of St. Mary""s"" for the first time EVER on vinyl - all of it live and studio alike lovingly mastered and remastered by Jim O""Rourke and packaged in a three LP box set with a wicked Roman Signer image on its removable lid interior printing on the box bottom and inner sleeves for each LP with performance credits for all the songs. The majority of these live performances come from a miraculous find in the CBC archive - a broadcast-quality recording of Jim and David from the 1997 Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville. This was the last time they performed together as Gastr del Sol during which several still-gestating Camoufleur pieces were presented in radically different forms and Jim played organ on a track from David""s first solo album the concert-closing band closing (and now album-closing) version of ""Onion Orange"". The studio recordings included were originally released by the Red Hot Organization God Mountain Table of the Elements Sony Japan Teenbeat and Drag City. We Have Dozens of Titles revisits the slow-burning incendiaries of Gastr del Sol finding once again and after so much time elapsed another further set of reinventions from a group who continues to change the way we hear music."
