”This box set is the definitive document of the legendary Beat Happening: the entire recorded output of the band that helped create an international network of underground pop entirely on their own terms.” - Domino Records

After dipping their toes with 2015's Look Around compilation, Domino go all in with this sweeping 7xLP boxset collecting the entire recorded output of Beat Happening, the influential Olympia, WA indie pop band with releases on Rough Trade, Sub Pop and Washington's K Records. This set includes the extended 2LP version of their self-titled debut album and single LP versions of Jamboree, Black Candy, Dreamy and You Turn Me On, as well as the 2003 compilation Music To Climb The Apple Tree By. All the audio has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios and the LPs are housed in a hard outer slipcase with 36 page booklet containing rare photos and liner notes.
