Besty...Resty...WESTY.



Per the internet altar of all things Westerberg (Kathy's wonderful MAN WITHOUT TIES site), iTunes has released a mini-version of the Rhino's highly-debated 'Besterberg' called (nyuck, nyuck) 'Resterberg'. $7.92 will buy you just the new and soundtrack songs included on the full release:

Dyslexic Heart/Seein' Her/Man Without Ties/A Star Is Bored/Stain Yer Blood/Once Around the Weekend/All That I Had/C'mon, C'mon, C'mon

To note, when I said 'highly-debated'...that may just be me. Maybe it's because i'm such a fan, that I felt the compilation was nowhere near representative of his best work. Focusing on his earlier major label work, it barely nods to the breadth of what I felt was some of his most creative solo output in 'Stereo/Mono', 'Come Feel Me Tremble' and 'Folker'. '14 Songs' is a classic in it's entirety, but the two albums that followed ('Eventually' and 'Suicane Gratification') were lacking despite a FEW great tunes on each.

That said, if you've never looked into P-Dub's post-Mats work or you're a completist who has to have every release...check out the Rhino 'Besterberg' page
HERE for a tracklisting (w/ audio clips) and some additional video goodies.

I thought it was a classy move to release "Resterberg" on iTunes. While some artists are actually prohibiting you from purchasing just the unreleased stuff, they throw just the unreleased stuff out there and you can buy it by song. Nice move and a great "EP".
