finally the material from the first four rories records is back in print! this is a reduction of the best, most interesting and least embarassing of those first raw, earnest recordings. the origins of the rories lie in a small half-bedroom four track recording studio. a snare drum. a casio. a guitar. a microphone. inspiration came from the soundtrack to twin peaks, the soundtrack to the sore losers, the stooges, the oblivians, etc.

all songs written and recorded by keith helt between 2001 and 2002. tracks 1-6 from the album the rories explode!. tracks 7-16 from the album fuck you we’re the rories. tracks 17-24 from the album the rories break up and try again. tracks 25-39 from the album reach for a star and fail. all songs by keith helt except for: track 3 by thurston moore; track 6 by delaney and bonnie bramlett; track 13 by the cure; track 38 by angelo badalamenti/david lynch. 100 minutes.
