Notes: Can it really be 15 years? Exile in Guyville was sprung on the world on June 24, 1993, following months in the studio with Brad Wood, Casey Rice, and a few others. Buy the all-digital package and watch the nearly 80-minute companion DVD, "Guyville Redux", to learn how the songs cand sound came together.

The CD and vinyl formats feature the same song list, with the 3 bonus tracks ("Ant in Alaska", "Say You", "Instrumentals") consigned to a separate 7" record on vinyl. The vinyl version lacks the DVD but includes a CD of all of the songs (the CD is a re-packaged copy of the disc from the all-digital version, housed in a white paper sleeve with plastic window). Sadly, there are no amusing notes/etchings adorning the outgroove area of the vinyl discs.

The reissue is also a warm-up for Liz's expected Fall 2008 new seedee, her first on ATO Records.

A trailer for "Guyville Redux" was posted on YouTube on June 16, right around the time it became apparent that a fourth B-side, "Wild Thing", was dropped from the reissue. By that time, advance CDs of the reissue including "Wild Thing" had already hit the streets....
