Limited edition 150 gram vinyl pressing for Record Store Day 2013! Codeine's What About The Lonely captures the band at the height of their career. Recorded direct from the mixing board at a stop on Codeine's November 1993 swing through the Midwest opening for Mazzy Star, the album finds the trio of Stephen Immerwahr, John Engle, and Doug Scharin running through their hits at Chicago's notorious Lounge Ax for a crowd of chatty 120 Minutes fans. Gastr Del Sol's David Grubbs joins for two songs on guitar, slinking on and off the two foot stage with little fanfare, but leaving an indelible mark on the performance.
