Pitchfork: Fountains of Wayne to Issue 2xCD Comp

In 1999, when Britney Spears was not yet a woman, she was the performer of one of the most covered songs in recent years: "...Baby One More Time". Among the renditions was a bootleg by Fountains of Wayne that sounded heartfelt-- Chris Collingwood and Adam Schlesinger located the sentimentality in the pop tune. And the people? They loved it. Six years later, Fountains of Wayne are finally giving their version of "...Baby One More Time" an official release.

More importantly, they're releasing 25 other songs along with it. Out-of-State Plates will hit stores on June 28 via Virgin Records, spanning a career's worth of previously unreleased material, B-sides, live cuts, and covers of tracks by ELO, Aztec Camera, Jackson Browne, and Spears. Collingwood and Schlesinger have provided the liner notes, and two new tracks are included on the release, one of which, "Maureen", will have a proper release as a single. This comes at an opportune time for Fountains of Wayne, as their last album Welcome Interstate Managers was a huge commercial success, producing two hits with "Hey Julie" and the once-ubiquitous "Stacy's Mom". Speaking of moms, have you heard that Britney's pregnant!? Hit me:
