This alternative rawk essential was released a staggering thirty years ago this year, and to celebrate Matador are reissuing Liz Phair's Exile in Guyville as a double purple vinyl package. While tracks like F*ck and Run, Glory, and Never Said saw the album celebrated at the time, its importance as a feminist moment in music, and a crucial record in general has been reconsidered in recent times, with the likes of Rolling Stone and Pitchfork including it in their sacred lists of "best albums everrrr". 1993 never sounded fresher. - Flying Out

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Liz Phair's beloved debut record, Exile In Guyville, which was first released on June 22, 1993 via Matador. On October 20th, Matador Records will reissue the album on limited edition purple vinyl. An 18-track double album loosely framed as a song-by-song reply to The Rolling Stones' Exile on Main St., Exile In Guyville was dubbed a classic upon arrival. The album's profile has only risen in the ensuing years. It is now regarded as an iconic work and a feminist landmark, recently cracking the top ten of Pitchfork's "Best 150 Albums of the 1990s" (#4) and the top 100 of Rolling Stone's "Best 500 Albums of All Time" (#56). Liz Phair has continued to defy expectations and break barriers. She has released five albums, sold over five million records, composed music for television, and received two Grammy ® nominations. In 2019, she published a memoir titled Horror Stories. On her most recent full-length, Soberish (2021), Phair reunited with Exile in Guyville producer Brad Wood. Today, three decades after the release of her debut, Phair's influence in contemporary music - and particularly over female voices - resonates more strongly than ever
