Description
In celebration of Record Store Day 2025, 4AD presents a trifecta of special 30th Anniversary Editions of classic releases from stand-out artists across our catalogue, available in limited quantities exclusively on vinyl at selected independent record shops on 12 April. * Crystal Clear 2LP * Remastered and Expanded * Featuring Cry Wolf b-side "The Mirror Is Gone" & the 5-track pre-cursor EP Inconsiderate Bitch * Designed by Chris Bigg, photography by Dominic Davies Lisa Germano's landmark 1994 album, Geek The Girl, is a prescient yet unsettling listen. A record that explores themes of stalking, sexual harassment, anxiety and the female experience, word of mouth has only grown since its release and despite now widely being seen as a classic of its time, it's somehow evaded a vinyl pressing, much to the chagrin of fans. So, in great news, 4AD are finally righting this on Record Store Day 2025 with a special double vinyl pressing to celebrate the album's 30th Anniversary. A record that is as vital a statement today as when first released, Lisa is unflinching and unbowed throughout Geek The Girl, giving a platform to the silenced, or as she says, "people who are stuck but want to go somewhere else." Writing with a raw, emotional honesty - sometimes from a kowtowing perspective - she holds little back. An incredible body of work, the atmosphere is heightened by a jaunting violin sound and her use of (with permission and after much deliberation) of a real 911 call in which a woman confronts an intruder in her own home. Her recurring use of Sicilian folk tune 'Frascilita' as an interlude jars too, even though she intended for it to give the album some needed "comic relief." Ranked in SPIN Magazine's Top 100 albums of the 90s, Geek The Girl is unlike most music of the period and a testament to both Lisa's artistry and courage. Working with Abbey Road Studios in London, the album has been remastered for its 30th anniversary and has had both 'Cry Wolf' b-side 'The Mirror Is Gone' and 5 track pre-cursor EP, Inconsiderate Bitch, added to deliver the complete package. Destined to be one of Record Store Day 2025's highlights, it's being pressed on double, crystal clear vinyl while designer Chris Bigg (v23) has returned to the porcelain doll cover shoot by Dominic Davies to deliver a stunning new design that complements the original album art. -
