Matador Wants You to "Wow Out"
Pavement Pre-Order Yields Rare Live Show, Single

Hold that Soulseek-leeching mouse click, because Matador has arranged a special incentive for customers who pre-order Pavement's previously reported Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition from participating record stores. Record stores?! Remember those?!

The "Wow Out" program works like this: pre-order the album and receive a "super rare" live show and an extremely limited 7".

Upon arranging the pre-order, customers will be given a unique code via e-mail; this enables them to download the entire live show, recorded April 24, 1994 at L.A.'s Palace, when Pavement were just introducing Wowee tracks to their audience.

Then, on November 7, purchasers will open their mailbox to find both Wowee Zowee: Sordid Sentinels Edition and the aforementioned vinyl. The latter's A-side boasts a rare version of "Black Out" recorded around the time of Crooked Rain's release. It was originally slated for a Thurston Moore-curated compilation, but that didn't end up happening. The B-side holds a previously unreleased version of "Extradition", with different vocals and a "slightly different mix" than the album brought.
