First Time U.S. Pressing (Colored 180g 2LP-Set with 4 Bonus Singles) Sourced From the Original Masters With Lacquers Cut At Sam Phillips Recording Studio
Since 1992 when she stepped out from the groundbreaking Blake Babies, a Boston band she founded with other students from the Berklee School of Music, Juliana Hatfield has plowed her own path as a reluctant guitar hero with unique voicing and song structures and an inherent raw power. Quick on the heels of her acclaimed debut Hey Babe (1992) and The Juliana Hatfield Three's Become What You Are (1993), she released Only Everything (1995), co-produced with Paul Kolderie and Sean Slade (Hole, Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr.) and on which she played the lion's share of instruments.
It captured a harder-edged and more mature Hatfield who had begun to recognize the value of human frailty as an indication of one's strength of character and no longer the burden evinced in her previous work. "A heart that hurts is a heart that works," she sang in the anthemic "Universal Heart-Beat" with its robust Marshall-on-11 chorus and snaky lounge-piano verses, a manifesto to the power of feelings, a mantra against emotional indifference and a paean to everyone who knows the value of risking one's heart. Only Everything is chock full of crunchy, catchy hooks, and not just those found on "Universal Heart-Beat," although that track did result in another alt-rock hit for Hatfield.
Pressed once in Germany, Only Everything hasn't seen a vinyl reissue in 23 years and is available on vinyl for the first time in the U.S. as Run Out Groove's latest fan approved release. Sourced from the original masters with lacquers cut at Sam Phillips Recording Studio, it comes pressed as a colored 180g 2LP-set with 4 bonus singles on side 4 courtesy of Record Industry in the Netherlands and is housed in a deluxe gatefold Stoughton jacket.
