Hüsker Dü has a 4xLP boxset on the way courtesy of Numero Group, 1985: The Miracle Year, out on Nov. 7. The band consisted of Bob Mould, Grant Hart, and Greg Norton.
The boxset includes a live set from Jan. 30, 1095 at First Avenue venue in its entirety, plus 20 more live songs from touring that year. The featured recording was to a crowd of 1,500 while temperatues outside were -11°. It was the height of the band's "SST era."
A streaming package is available now -- listen here -- with songs including “The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill,” “I Apologize,” “If I Told You” and “Folklore.”
A house fire in 2011 destroyed much of the band's archival material.
