The Breeders Share Previously Unreleased “Go Man Go” From Last Splash 30th Anniversary Reissue

The Breeders are announcing a 30th anniversary reissue of Last Splash coming in September. Last Splash (The 30th Anniversary Original Analog Edition) has been remastered based off of the original analog tapes, which were previously thought to be lost. This process actually unearthed two unreleased tracks from the Last Splash days, and one of them — “Go Man Go” — is available to hear now. It’s a co-write between Kim Deal and Black Francis from 1993.

This special edition of Last Splash will contain two 12” 45rpm vinyl discs (cut at half speed at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell), plus an exclusive, one-sided etched 12” disc containing two forgotten tracks. In addition to “Go Man Go,” there’s “Divine Mascis” — a version of “Divine Hammer” with lead vocals from Dinosaur Jr.’s J Mascis. The original sleeve art (by the late designer Vaughan Oliver) has also been reimagined by his longtime design partner Chris Bigg.
