The Rest Of The Best – Volume 1: Vinyl 2LP

TheCardiganscompilation album The Rest Of The Best Vol. 1 covers some of the bands recordings released as B-sides on singles, soundtracks and as bonus tracks on Japanese, French and UK versions of their albums between 1994 2006.

The volume was compiled by TheCardigansand remastered by Ryan Smith at Sterling Sound. The artwork is created based on photos taken by the photographer Martin Bogren, who worked with the band from the very beginning. 2LP version is pressed in 140g black vinyl.

We are delighted to release these compilations. Songs that for various reasons were left out of our studio albums. Now our audience can listen through all B sides in chronological order and its a pure joy to reminisce all the way back to 1993. Its almost like a forgotten record, or rather four. We hope youll enjoy the 13 year ride! The Cardigans
