Classic Album Review: Various Artists | Rykodisc 20th Anniversary

The world’s first CD-only label celebrates two decades with two discs of highlights.

This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):

 


THE SKINNY: The world’s first CD-only label celebrates two decades with two (yes) CDs of highlights from its eclectic catalog of releases and reissues.

THE OLDIES: Everything from David Bowie’s Changes and Big Star’s Thank You Friends to Devo’s cover of Satisfaction and Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage — and much more.

THE GOODIES: A booklet detailing the label’s history.
