{"product_id":"392-the-ep-collection","title":"#392: The EP Collection","description":"Liner Note Author: Marshall Crenshaw.\u003cbr\u003eRecording information: 05\/15\/2012.\u003cbr\u003ePhotographers: Bill Ellison; Todd Gay; Eric Drumwright; Daniel Burke .\u003cbr\u003eMarshall Crenshaw decided to embrace the ever-shifting pop landscape of the new millennium by instituting a Kickstarter-fueled subscription series, wherein over the course of two years he would give subscribers a 10\" EP (accompanied by a card for a high-quality digital download) consisting of a new song, a cover, and a re-recording of one of his old songs every few months. #392: The EP Collection compiles all the newly written songs from these EPs along with his covers of other artists (left behind are the re-recordings of his catalog). Sequenced so the originals arrive first (albeit in reverse chronological order) and the covers second (this time presented in order of their release), #392: The EP Collection holds together well as an album because all the music flows from the same source: well-crafted pop where his mature craft finds an effective counterpoint in his inspirations. If nothing here is especially lively -- Bobby Fuller's galloping \"Never to Be Forgotten\" and the Easybeats' \"Made My Bed, Gonna Lie in It\" come the closest -- there's nevertheless appeal in the warm, intimate surroundings Crenshaw conjures. It's casual but also assured, tuneful without being forceful, a nice reflection of Crenshaw's confidence as a craftsman. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine","brand":"MovieMars","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46572662784287,"sku":"819376066721","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/7833\/0399\/files\/2f3fb7af135378b898b7c96aaa32d028_9e8cfd9c-5dca-427d-ae9e-0a44f266c2da.jpg?v=1779542691","url":"https:\/\/www.moviemars.com\/products\/392-the-ep-collection","provider":"MovieMars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
